Should I stay, or should I go (asked the front Chronicle)

Post by redefined_cycles »

Having some tyre dilemma issues. The 2.4 Onza is on the back but the Q is do I keep the Chronicle up front or get another 2.4 there. Trying to make it look pretty (never had a pretty bike :grin: ) but don't wanna end up with a bit of a boneShaker (well, wrist)...

Vote if you will please and that'll be my answer (or not)..

NB. Its not a pizza bike but the front rack will do regular pizza duties

The Onza Ibex is £18 and went up tubeless on a 35mm first time :smile:

PizzaLand, Mill Street East. Normally go for whatever they give me in the 16 inch offer for £13... Probably gonna have to start getting 12 inch to carry on rack. Still looking for a Domino-style bag to keep the pizza warm...

Looks like the Chronicle it is :-bd

Thanks folks

Dominos got rid of the double decadence, don't make the same mistake. Keep your Chronicle.

I had some Onza tyres in the past and really liked them, who has them that cheap? I got mine from an Evans clear-out and full RRP is a bit much! :lol:

*edit* It's wiggle! :-bd

Didn't try as the 2.4 was cheap (on CRC)... Turns out (with it's decent side lugs) I only have 7 or 8mm gap either side on the rear chainstay. Maybe a future update and smaller lug tires I may give it a go but for the mo 2.4/3.0 it'll be :smile:
