Thanks for the warning. Which 1.0's did you try? I'm trying the Hutchinson Top Slicks. I notice that the Fat Boy's 1.25 can run up to 100 psi. They must be fast.

I'm also using a 42 chainring on the big ring space of my triple crank. I'm using a cassette rear and just spacing the rear cog over to line up with the big ring. If I eventually get a ss specific rear wheel I may have to run the smaller front . . .
