Brilliant to hear your experience with Smart Sams v. Big Bens! Thank you. If I eventually go with a second wheel set (knowing it could be a prelude to a new bike), I want to get tires that are lush to ride. Compass would be ideal, but they don't go fatter, and I'd like fatter.
Anyone know the actual width of Continental's Speed King 29" x 2.2"? It's just above the max for the Hunqapillar.
