Bikes: En plus one

Today I changed the stock Kenda Kwest 1.25 tires for some Primo Comets 1.5. These are also 100 psi tires and have a kevlar belt. Does anyone know if the Kwest have a kevlar belt?

I also changed the fenders, since it was easier than modifying the stock ones. Plus they are black and seem to blend in better.

There is still clearance for more tire. I bet I could stuff some Big Apples in there if I didn't run fenders.

Rode it 40 miles today and not surprisingly, the ride is better with the bigger tires. As a very subjective observation the Comets feel faster, particularly on chipseal.

I also changed out the nutted axles a put in QRs.
