The winter left the MUPs around here in pretty bad shape, and the ride is a little harsh with the narrower tires, so I decided to switch back to the Marathon Supremes 700x35. To fit under the smaller fenders, had to add monkey nuts to the rear dropouts, which moves the wheel back 14mm. The disc brakes also need to move back the same amount.





The Topeak trunk bag/panniers are really nice. The fold out panniers are a great feature to carry extra clothes this time of year when the mornings are cool and the evenings are warm. Also good for carrying lunch, a laptop and a folded dress shirt, as needed. Otherwise, the panniers are out of the way.
