Trepidations of an amateur cyclist on his first ride.

The going was great. I set out at about 3 pm to Narara which is a bird sanctuary near Jamnagar. The total distance from my place being around 26 kms from my place. Started off well, armed with my spare tube and pump, helmet, tool kit and all. Nice pleasant ride, but mainly on the road so I set about to check the MTB out offroad. Went on a dirt patch which was handled well, the shocks kicked into action pretty good. But still have'nt made out exactly how to control the lockout of the front… Continue

Locally, I have been able to find 1.75" tires. However, Evans cycles stocks even 1" slicks for MTB rims.
That would make the 3700 more like a hybrid. But for something like a TFN, I would prefer a full fledged road bike with its drop handlebars and road ratios.

Orbea promises to give custom fits as per customers requirements ...so lets see how much they actually do it ???

so i am in search of suitable tyres of 1.4 width ...will let You know as soon as i locate them & you too reciprocate :))
