Your road situation sounds like urban warfare and survival skills in high demand. Traffic is part of what finds me on back roads and trails now. Start making plans for those dreams so you get to 'em
Thanks for the advice... I just bought the EXP! The 650s are great off road (1st time riding this size) and I just love the geometry of this bike! Was planning on converting to flat bar and friction thumbies, but the drop bar with my experimental 35 degree stem is not affecting my neck issues...yet.
I need to get it ready for urban warfare, however (700 x 28-35) and am having a hard time finding a reasonably priced, disc capable 9spd wheelset in 12 x 100 & 12 x 142 thru axle... Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
