I have a Mongoose Ledge 3.1 "29er" that I got about 3 months ago and was stolen around a week ago and recovered Monday.
Got it thinking I'd do some off road / trail riding but it became my commuter being my only bike that has more than one speed.
Anyway the tires are already cracking and I'm wanting to go to more of a slick or street tire (I tend to run slicks like Bontrager Hank tires on my cruisers). I'm aware that 29ers are 700c; that being said I'm trying to find some reasonable price 40+ mm wide tires to fit the bill.
Any suggestions would be great.
Next I'm wanting to cut the seat post and have it welded into a bit of a layback post so I can be a bit more comfortable when riding. I've made attempts at this in the past but never quite get it right; is there any good way to do this? I havnt been able to find a premade post in the right size.
