I'm a mature student with a young family but having no money to fund riding and being happy is actually a lot better than when I had more money than sense and being miserable :)

Wide words...

Myself or Surfette will sometimes remind ask each other what the hell did we do with our time before our 2 young fellas came along..

I had my fast cars, did my motors-racing, etc. but now I'm quite happy with a few hours a week out on my bike and coming home to wifey and the boys :)

OK, but the hubs are cone and bearing, not replaceable, i would choose the superstar ones as you could replace the bearings easier.

Hi all,
Anti thieft device.......
I love the idea of personnalising your bike.... I have bullets on my wheels. Plastic pipe covering to stop scratches when leaning on lamp posts etc.
hand grips with skulls on them....
good luck to you . Bling it on.
Bob

I had Presta on my old bike and they seem IMO to hold there pressure better
I'm not sure about tubeless as I like to change tyres around
