Hi everyone. I've been reading the forum for a while but only just registered. My wife picked-up a second hand Plug of ebay. I'm slowly working up the mileage each week and recently started the 6 mile commute.
I think it's standard stuff that the Plug is heavy brute, but is it a hard ride? Mine has gatorskin tyre, which I know aren't very forgiving, but with the steel rims is this a harsher ride than most single speeds? I certainly notice every road repair on the ride.
