Currently building a town-beater-shopper, not Dutch but some similar elements.
I'm after some gum wall / tan wall tyres. The Panaracer Pasela seem to be my best bet (any other suggestions welcome)....
...the question is what width?
The rim is an mavic MA3. I'd have thought 28 for the best balance of comfort / rim fit.
Is it worth going any bigger. I don't want it to be slowly than necessary, but equally speed isn't much of a concern.
Answers on a post card please.
@ Wanabe - RE: dynamo - Bluequinn has a good point. That was the trouble with my GF's. Just go thru and check all the wiring is where it should be and tightened properly. Also maybe try cleaning the connections with braso or similar metal polish.
