Is your 7d a regular or a tall frame .

I was looking at a Framed Fat Tire bike , but after riding my Electra Fat Tire today , I don’t think I could deal with the hum of knobbies riding through the neighborhood. Plus I’d have to swap out the stem and bars on it .
After riding my C1 lately with Maxxis Hookworms on it and riding the Fat Tire today , I thought a tall 7D with a set of Maxxis Hookworms would combine the two into an almost perfect neighborhood cruiser.
The Tall 7D and Fat Tire have similar size frames . And I have not found a tire I like better than the Maxxis Hookworms , even though they are heavy , they roll and grip better than any tire I’ve ever owned .
Mines the "regular". Its funny, my old C1 had the Electra knobbies and I liked the look but they did have a little hum to them. The smooth tires on the 7D are super quiet and so is the freewheel, Im really impressed. Coasted down the hill on a ride the other day and even at over 32 mph its silent.
