Regarding the Kwest tires you got, did you stick with the same width as the original tires (700x32?) or get a different width?

Thanks again for the info.
Same width because I already had fenders. Not sure how wide the frame will take.

***I have mentioned this elsewhere, but the Charge Plug lineup through model year 2015 is steel. For 2016 they went to aluminum except for the top of the line which according to their website is titanium. Online the frames look pretty close to the steel ones geometry-wise, but I don't know and I haven't ridden any.
