Make it last a little longer, Longer with Big Red!

[Cataboo]

Love the tires (and the bike...you do have a knack for creating cool Franken-bikes) and dream of blue reflective ones for my commuter beastie (but I wish they made them smaller than 70x37).

But 22tpi gives me pause. How do those tires ride? My experience with low tpi tires (Hutchinson's) has been that they are hard, harsh, and loud. Does the low psi rating soften them up? How do they roll?

It's covered in snow outside. I haven't ridden them

The 700x37 looked smaller than what I thought it would be, I don't think they looked like more than 700x32s, but I'll go measure.

I've got a 2nd set of wheels with 700x23's on it for when I want to use the bike to go fast or longer distances.

I'll post back when I've tried them out a bit. Big red isn't quite as fun looking as Scar or the surly was - while I love that red fade paint, accessorizing has been not as easy. If she sticks around long term (which hopefully she will), she'll get a paint job at some point.

Another friend sent me his old fork to try on her, aluminum cyclocross one vs. the surly steamroller I've got on her.
