Takes a lot longer to swap tyres than swap wheels. I guess it depends how often you'd be switching. -
Hi Snaw, I thought you had been shot by a right wing gunmanOriginally posted by snaw View PostHey guys,
Can any of you two wheeled road warriors recommend me a bike - primarily for commuting to work, but I like the occasional bit of mountain biking (Not so easy in Sing, but at some point I'll get away for a ride somewhere).
Looking to spend 500 ish, give or take - willing to pay more if that's the sensible option, my last bike lasted me 10 years so don't mind spending a wee bit extra if that's the advice given
And how the fck are you all? Been a while, something about distance and timezone that puts me off posting more regularly. 1 1/2 years into life in Singapore and loving it. Can't think of a better place to live if you've a young family, and life here generally is very easy. All the stuff about Sing being boring is well off the mark, and at the risk of sounding like a smug b'stard it's the best financial move I've ever made
Hope you're all well, billing the clients large sums and ducking the tax man with small payments.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

Not necessarily, bigger wheels= faster commutes.Originally posted by snaw View Post
Might be a good balance for you, but I wouldn't get one without trying it.

For a daily 15-min commute what is the need for spending serious money? Wouldn't a cheap bike be more than adequate for flat roads, e.g. £150 for a commute bike and £500 for a fun offroad bike?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment
