What's to mind? This is a commuter, not a racing bike. I cannot complain about the ride quality. The narrowest tires I have had on it were 32mm Pasela TGs. I haven't ridden a wide range of similar bikes, so I don't know what I might be missing.

Everything I want my bike to do is done. No complaints. I haven't asked

I still don't understand why an aluminum frame bike that accepts big tires is going to be a ride quality issue. The people at Schwalbe love to wax prophetic about the joy of large diameter tires.


What's your point?
