OK this is on sale 35% off. That doesn't mean it's cheap. Lumina is a well regarded offroad light. Virtually indestructible. But they have traditionally...Last edited by Retrorockit; 4 hours ago.

I went from slicks to grooved slicks, and now Schwalbe Big Ben Plus Moped rated tires. The more I ride this thing the more I unlearn.

I got a first ride in. I did wash the mold release compound off of the new tire before putting the wheel back on. No slippery feeling noticed. On a fast...Last edited by Retrorockit; 3 days ago.
