  Thanks y’all. My son really likes it and it’s rekindled his interest in cycling everywhere.

  Best thing is we can go exploring places we would have struggled with on his last bike.. had skinnier tyres and more roady gearing.

  @lmananimal it’s a 1inch fork. I quite like the chunky look of it and it feels really solid with the braced bars :)

  @voxelwise rad! Love a Klein. Going to be awesome 😎

  Sorry wasn’t trying to advise you on where to be. Just relating to the fact that it affects me all the time. And I don’t really know what the best solution is (other than complete segregation)

  sounds like a solid recommendation. 2” would be fine tbh... I’ll keep an eye out for some.

  I may just have to resort to being smack dab in the middle of the lane instead of a foot away

  This made me think about something that I’m always a little conflicted about.. If there isn’t space for a car to overtake safely (imo anything less than a whole lane is questionable, depending on speed and size of vehicle obvs!) then I think the best place is to be right in the middle. Your safety just can’t be left to every random driver who wants to push past, with varying perceptions of what’s an acceptable distance to overtake at.

  The only fallout (not that I give a fuck in my case) is that it causes frustration and aggro for drivers, who see it as you blocking the road. This is slightly less of an issue for ‘fast’ cyclists but a big one for slow cyclists like my dad or my son. Where their anger gets amplified by being slown down to about 10mph by a tiny little person on a push bike right in the middle of the road.

  So I know that’s the safest place for them, but I also know it’ll cause the most conflict.

  Not going tubeless

  Hookworms are definitely a weighty tyre. Internet says about a kilo

  Hey, thanks. Got a feeling that 28 will be too wide for the rear... Got 26c panaracers on there at the mo and they rub on the brake caliper once every revolution, tyre has a slight lump on it. Deffo 28c? Silly old school frame with tight clearances.
