Well thats that sorted!
I love Marks reply! Hex is good job sorted! Well all the best to him and all that help him out! I hope Blake 7 RJ are OK as well!
I run a 1.85 on the front of mine but that is a personal prefrance, like above 2.1 seems to be a very popular choice.
and just to add I would say the same about the rear wheel!
Cone? Id say like a hub cone? & as for the drop out, thats where your rear wheel sits , some have horizontal dropouts other standard.
Hopefully some more input will come in on this
