Whichever way you look at, its all good;)

34x18 is that a puff gear? Fishbulb?

I'm only a rookie;)

Doris, taking a breather yesterday.

Hi mate. 34 x 18 is ok. Just slightly lower than the purists 32 x 16 (ie 2 to 1). It all depends on where/what you are riding (on).

I think I might be wishing I had a slightly lower gear for my little jaunt next w/end... http://www.sip-events.co.uk/kielder-home.html and possibly some decent waterproofs too! :eek:

Anyway, how are you enjoying the new toy? Takes a little while to get 'dialled in' I found. It certainly looks nice.
