fietsbob. I understand
why Raleigh put them on there. 2) Interchangeable parts would be a plus. 1) That time of the year!

Darth Lefty. It's been on the shelf and is now coming off, at least for some limited use. There is another new bike trail (unpaved) opening up nearby. Running low air pressure in the 38's that are on there actually makes this bike ride pretty decent. Don't misunderstand me here. The Crossrip will do everything this bike will do and do it better. That does not mean I can't enjoy riding this bike some. Plus, I have something guests and family can ride when they visit.

unterhausen. There are no noises or other problems. Note...STFU and ride it is definitely a possibility

@
tjspiel. I would certainly consider a complete wheelset. The question is directed at dollars spent versus noticeable performance difference. You think an inexpensive wheelset or new hubs, such as the Shimano's I mentioned, would not be an upgrade worthy of pursuing?
