    Orange is orange, even just by name

    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!

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