As above. Rigid bike for work so tyres cant wear out in 5 mins. Need to cope with the odd bumpy bits encountered with the dogs.

Needs to cope with lovely spring singletrack when the bouncy bike is too clean and heavy to break out. Considering High roller front/ advantage back (why>? cos thats what I have in the shed)

Schwalbe Fast fred from Spa cycles.

Not so good in the mud but if you are on paths,it shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers guys. Have to say the hack bike has balooned.

Presently it is a Kona Blast with steel forks (that are waaay too short) SS'd horribly with serac XC tyres at about 75psi. It was just for work. I have a Meta for the bumpy stuff.

....

So I though...Carbon Forks. Going to need a front brake. (may as well make it a hydro ). Hydro rim brake for the back? Yea why not. Gears? Sure. Fancy some mary bars>ok. That frame will have to go...and those [i]TYRES?!![/i]
