I got the my new tires, tubes and brake pads for the Schwinn Cross-Cut yesterday and put them on this morning and took it out for a ride. Made it close to 9 miles today . I would have made 10 but I was unsure of how far I had ridden until I backtracked with my truck , checking the mileage . Those new Michelins , I put on, made a world of difference in the way this bike handles. Can't wait to get the new bike. kirby
