But ... why the freestyle tyres?  Are you riding those tyres too?  seems an awful shame to ruin them  :'(

Hi Terry. Good question. I wanted to do something a bit different than putting the usual chunky comp 3 style tyres on. My idea was to build it up as a stadium/indoor racer using Comp ST (Stadium) tyres (before they became known as freestyle only tyres). I bought a set of the new Panaracer freestyle tyres, and also a set of the kenda K55's (old style Panaracer tread) and was going to use either of those, but after speaking to Ant factory pilot it seemed a shame to put repro tyres on. The plan is to ride it with with the ST's, but I got a puncture last week on the London ride, so i'll see how it goes. If I don't think they'll stand up to riding, i'll probabaly put the Kendas on  :daumenhoch:
