I have a Gear Pro HD camera, and I don't recommend using or buying it. Although the video quality was great initially, it is now so out of focus that it's worthless. Although it records audio, that...

That depends

If you ride through loose snow, you might want clearance for the snow that accumulates on the tires. Other than that, I would get the biggest size I could get.

I just received a pair of 700x30C...

Some suggestions

A bike computer tracks current speed, max speed, has an odometer, a trip distance, a clock, and more. Some also calculate how many calories you burned during a ride. I like this one: ...
