I've thought about Big Apples to add variety, but I don't think my rims are wide enough.
BA's will slow your Frankenbike down a lot....FYI my rims are 1.50 28mm/21 I.D. I run my BA's 20-25 lbs front and 40-45lbs rear. i should mention the rear BA is 2.15 so i could fit the SKS fender. only got 200 miles on em' but so far no problems with this rim/tire combo.
