Both. The bigger wheels, once they get rolling, are faster and easier. I've had an mb triple put on the front, so it now has pretty much the same gearing as Tuesday Weld. Small wheels accelerate easier, but bigger wheels build up more momentum. Also I think the geometry fits me a bit better, although both are pretty good. And the Trek is about half the weight of the Friday. Does this make sense to you as a bike mechanic? And do you or others at the BS have any suggestions on bike crates?
