I haven't upped the tire pressure yet. I think I'll just keep em at 80 for right now. Max is 85.. I figured 80 was good enough for me. I've spent enough right now, I'll break down the wheels and replace the rim tape in a couple weeks when I have time to get down to the LBS and see what they have to offer.

Any brand recommendations?

Yesterday I noticed two of these bikes at walmart. One had the same tires as mine (sort of a snake like tread on the outer edge) and then another with completely different tires... more slightly off road square mesh looking treads. Same size wheels and all.. just totally different treads. Strange. And yeah same model bikes & price.

So you may want to be sure of the tread style if you order those tires from Kent.


Oh and hey hit just over 39mph on a smaller downhill by my house today while riding around. Feels good to go fast. I may start riding my old $50 k-mart special Huffy MTB just to build up some extra strength. That sucker is a lot heavier than this bike. Oh and hey when I weighed my Denali it only hits around 26 pounds right now with empty bottles and my tail light addon.
