I have a second wheelset made for wider knobby tires. The rims are different size and do require I readjust the brakes when I change them. The difference is small enough that using the barrel adjusters is usually enough to make the change, but it does take a little practice and isn't that difficult when you get the hang of it. If you are completely inexperienced, I would suggest Googling Sheldon Brown and searching his website for the complete lowdown on adjusting whatever type of brake you have chosen. It's good to know and good to get over the intimidation factor.<br /><br />MarcMarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240252773932276478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384807982946756823.post-26652847680341794752013-07-25T08:02:00.151-07:002013-07-25T08:02:00.151-07:00Hi.

You wrote that "I will be able to spend a few minutes changing to knobby tires and removing fenders." As someone who is not at all, and I mean at all, mechanical (and rather intimidated by tools), how difficult is it really to swap wheels or tire sizes? I mean if I wanted to ride fat tires in snow or rain, and narrower ones or studded or whatever. How are the brakes affected when one switches widths on wheels and tires?

Most ppl who dislike the Hunq dislike the larger sizes, with the double top-tubes. <br /><br />I'm glad you like the ride/handling over the LHT, b/c otherwise I'd wonder if, aesthetics aside, you'd made a lateral move. I have a LHT that i ride a decent amount, but i'm thinking of selling it come spring. It's nice to know you can get such a nice price for them still.<br /><br />regards,<br />-robScreechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397676711365438175noreply@blogger.com
