The knobbies are good for betel nut trails and country roads in the spring. <br /><br />It sounds like you have a tough beast of a bike. As long as it works. I bet it is great for the long haul. We should ride sometime.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-19209214523625562412010-02-25T02:17:27.129-08:002010-02-25T02:17:27.129-08:00Nice setup, I'd go for slicks though.

It has seen more dirt from trucks than from trails and has got 1.5" slicks on permanently, and a rack at the back.<br /><br />But mine weight in at 13kg+ (28lbs or so). Really heavy, but still does the centuries when necessary.pumpkinslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922668397553665909noreply@blogger.com
