Sparc I'm interested in the paddle tires. Still live in the same area ? OMG WA ! when did you go and do that ... geez IDK now. I love that crank lol where is the LRP that went with it ... ;)
let me add to what was said above. Always keep the wheel nut tight. I have never had a 17 mm hub fail or take out the rim that was not the result of a loose nut. I did run 23's for a while but there was truly no need for them on these models.
GL and keep up the good work
