Cons: heavier (speed depends on you, your legs), less of that minimalist look, can be too fat for fenders (in my case)
What are your goals? Where/How do you want to ride? I ride in the city with lots of potholes and litter so I go fat
I live in a downtown area and I dont plan on taking this bike off pavement at all. I just thought maybe it would be a little more protection and less maintenance. Im just starting to ride so my legs aren't super strong yet haha. Is it really going to be that much slower?
