Because I will break them. And good tires will either be ungodly expensive or much too hard to find or both. It took a decade to get a set of wheels that both grip and doesn't snap a spoke after...

How is riding the bent going? I used to have one of those my self. Do you have the EZ-1 or EZ-Sport AX? Remember to put on sunblock, otherwise the front of your legs and arms will get fried.

They may fit on the Aero Mighty's with some minor modifications, but they do not match up directly with Aero Mighty toe clips. I have a set of those as well. I...

Conti's are usually pretty accurate on sizing, but this is a problem in the bicycle tire industry. Usually I find it in Kendas. My best advice would be to stick with the brand that fits, maybe try...

I was 11 lbs and 2 feet long at birth. I have always been big. @ 325 lbs and 6'6" now I just consider it normal size. An addiction to sweets doesn't help either.
