ah, nice! i did a bikepacking trip around galloway forest park area a few years ago with a couple of mates.
absolutely stunning scenery. deffinitely want to go back some day.
not sure i'd brave it single speed though!i'm guessing your commute is along the coast if there are no hills for 20 miles?

Nice - I think that general area is very underappreciated compared to the north west, always hearing glowing reports about the riding & scenery.
We're on the edge of Renfrewshire & I work in Glasgow, there's a great cycle path round the corner which used to be an old railway line so it's smooth & flat most of the way, then Paisley rd is flat & pretty wide the rest of the way, especially at 6:30am because I cannot deal with rush hour traffic

I have a pair of sks that will fit but probably not over these tyres, will see if I miss them before deciding - there is still a surprising amount of clearance with the 32s though
It's just under 20 miles each way to work & I got fed up of commuting in the rain a few years ago so I tend to pick & chose my days now - a bold strategy in the West of Scotland perhaps but hey ho!
