Buycycle just got a shipment of these at a really good price so I ordered a pair.

Suitable for date night and perfect for Bellville's notorious underground brakedance gambling circut.

There's a pair of these in black at my Lbs, also for a very good price, but it just ain't exactly my style. 1216cd03d508e6fad6d5274edbed9530.jpg

Not a 'new' purchase but replaced the tatty old white tape on my tarmac with some fresh new red tape thanks to Pikey - thanks mate!

 

Need to check with the 'fashionista' if it falls within the rules:-

 

Rule #8 // Saddles, bars, and tires shall be carefully matched

 

Valid options are:

 

- Match the saddle to the bars and the tires to black; or
- Match the bars to the color of the frame at the top of the head tube and the saddle to the color of the frame at the top of the seat tube and the tires to the color where they come closest to the frame; or
- Match the saddle and the bars to the frame decals; or
- Black, black, black

The mistress got new legs...

Had new wheels built. ZTR Alpine with Novatec hubs. The Deore XT rims I had just couldn't hold air anymore due to corrosion around the tire seat

 

Yeah, she is old. She is my only ride, but she is a good ride.

Nothing wrong with that.

whahaha, had the exact same shopping basket, and at the last moment went for the i29's - just because I'm worried about tyre clearance at the back on a 40mm rim! In Jhb at customs at the moment - flip!

Overall width of the tyre won't change by much. 

 

See:

 

WIDE RIMS CHANGE TO TIRE SIZE:

Going to wider rims, the tire's circumference doesn't grow taller. I've closely measured rollout curcumference which calculates to tire height, and measured knob width too. Using the same 2.3 Pacenti neo-moto tire on a 650b x 40mm Derby Rims compared to a 28mm Blunt, the tire doesn't grow taller, the tire is no higher at the center knobs, and the edge knobs are actually a very small measurement narrower, about 0.0225 inch  or 0.6 mm narrower. But the edge knobs do "stand up" a little higher making a more "square" tread profile, and these edge knobs do come closer to the arch of a fork or yoke of a chain-stay by about 1.5mm, so it is slightly closer clearance above the edge knobs.
