aren't Delta Cruisers only available in the old 26 x 1 3/8" and road 700c sizes only (ie not MTB 26")? Shame you're not local to me as I have a pair of Fat Franks here (26 x 2.35") which are 50 miles old, but it would be pricey posting them

I'm glad you pointed that out as I was confused about that sizing!

IT's ok I just need to rethink tyre choice, fast rolling tyres for dry weather towpaths mainly for this fire mountain rigid rocket I'm building for my Dads birthday!

cheers

looks a tasty project... Michelin Country Rock are good for tow paths and very light dry trails as well as street use, bit like a BMX tread pattern and only about a tenner each from CRC last time I checked. Schwalbes tend to be a bit more pricey, City Jets are good and lighter than Marathons which are better for touring

Hese any good to you:

Shimano Nexave V-brake levers. £10

I'll get back to you silentphoenix mate

Opinions on Specialized crossroads? They're only a tenner at the mo near me and although are 1.95's and have flakjacket protection, are tempting me...

can't see why not... one thing I found with Mary bars though was when I used wide DMR Zip grips I didn't have enough room for shifters and brake levers, so I had to use STIs... but not had that problem with any other grips

Cheers!


I seem to be sorted on the Mary and V front now thanks to Russell.
