Bah I missed the home delivery of mine today. Have to wait another week unless I drive to the courier depot 30 miles away.
I notice lots on-line seem to be immedietly switching tires. Are the supplied ones really that `bad' for the road? Are they that good off-road?
Also, in the meantime... mudguards. Interesting concept. Have observed them for decades now. But in my advancing years I think I should partake of them. I assume I can get away with the narrower SKS chromos even on days I run fatter-tired wheels? The wider ones are obviously more protective but also look like drag chutes to me especially with narrow road tires.
