Ride wise... fitted my newly built 7 speed block to my folder and took it for a good 24 km test ride to test the much wider gear range and was a fairly perfect day for this as my ride out was on paved roads and into the wind and then on the way home I bombed into the river valley and then found some decent climbs on the way back.
The 1.5 Marathons under my bike handle gravel really well... came up this little hill like it wasn't even there and impressed a few folks who were riding mountain bikes.
