Right then, am looking to try and get some road miles in once the young lad (9 months) has gone to bed. Currently have some slicks fitted to an old rigid MTB, but with the slicks, the wheel diameter comes out fairly small.
I was thinking of getting something like the Mavic Speed City wheels (700c rims on an MTB hub) which means I could run a fairly fast tyre which is fairly large diameter, but don’t really want to spend that kind of money. Could I get a pair of 29” wheels from On-One, (or get some 29” rims built onto an old pair of hubs) and find some slicks for those? Thinking 29” wheels with a 1” slick won’t be much bigger in diameter than a 26” wheel with a 2.25” knobbly, or am wrong assuming that…
Bike has disc brakes so no worries about braking.
Cheers,
Alex
