Taking the headset off this tomorrow and swapping the silver one for it.
Thought it would be good to take the opportunity to give it a full breakdown and clean after being a lockup commuter all winter and then rebuild it again in the same form but with a few tweeks
front brake
Put the oury grips I’ve got spare on
the widest tyres I can fit in there
With that being said:
Does anyone have a front brake kicking around? I donated mine to my gfs bike.
And some 28-32c tyres?
I think getting a 30 at least in the rear should be pretty easy, 32 perhaps with the wheel far back enough in the fork end.
28 is the stated limit on the fork so perhaps I could squeeze a lil’ 30 in there 🥺
28c Corsa control something or other? These I think these are the 4 season version and found them to be really durable. The tan has darkened to a pleasing turbo cotton colour so look great with silver rims!
ah very nice! tempted to try wider though so may refuse your offer for now :)
mind i did just put the fixie back together and went cruising around, man i forgot how fast skinny tyres and a light bike feels, I’ve been rolling on 45s exclusively for a month or so, feels so fun and effortless
