I dont thinks there is a need for a fat tire it痴 more of a want. Lol. I致e cruised on the bike paths in town and my cruiser will go 18-20 on the pavement but most of the paths near the house I知 limited to 6-7 mph. The paths are just in rough shape.
Im thinking the tires will just roll over the terrain and with the lower gearing it will make it a fun ride. I feel I知 beating my cruiser up a bit and this is built a little bit beefier for my usage.
It should be he in the next day or so and I値l get to ride it this week and I値l report back before I make any changes.
I know the stem is too long, the grips and pedals are really cheap and it looks like the brake levers are pretty cheap. I have a set of Shimano levers I put on my 7D and I think I値l swap those over.
