It's always fun to find one's old posts and see how things have evolved... I had the little fella down to 24 pounds before the fenders went back on.

I re-tapped the bb so I could install a cartridge bb and run my vintage Stronglight cranks with the flip flop (fixed/fixed) rear hub, and decided the 406 wheels and tyres were perfect for urban assaults as they roll fast and absorb the bumps really well.
