Sensible tires
These aren't the stock wheels or the stock tires for this 2012 Surly LHT, but the brown tires really work with the dark green, don't ya think?. A lot of people fret incessantly over various frivolous tire characteristics. Color-coordination is perhaps the most fret-worthy. That's what we do here. HC is all about fashion.

What kind of tires? I'll be in this weekend to discuss!
I put creme Delta Cruisers on my 2008 olive green trucker. Looked great. Never liked the way they felt, though.

Can you get a pair for me in green or yellow? Thanks
Green or yellow, yes. They come with special sunglasses.
Those forkcrown mounts look cool. I did not realize surly did those now.
I'm hoping they'll have a new rack for that mount at Frostbike this weekend. But even if they don't, I have a few ideas. A Surly front rack with rear rack hardware on these fork-crown mounts is a rock-solid arrangement, but perhaps overkill for daily use.

How do those tyre's compare to a Grand Bois Hetre or the excellent Challenge Parigi Roubaix in terms of thread count (tpi), weight and suppleness (sometimes refered to as road feel).
They compare favorably.
The tire is an easy i.d.. I need help with the dynamo hub
I did not Know that HC was all about fashion!!
