Keep it going.
Welcome and thanks for joining.
Thanks! i'll try them without the straps for awhile and see if my opinion changes about them.

Nice to know, I'm probably about 185 right now but i've been doing a lot of cardio along with diet and hope to drop down to ATLEAST 170 by spring and even less by ragbrai so I think i'll give 25's a try. Is there a specific tire type/brand i should look for, best for price wise?
I don't know much about fitment but will any 700c tire fit a Matrix 750 rim? I believe that's what the rims are on the bike.
