Guess puttin round town is what I use it for. Should get the 16 inch tires new shoes so I can put them back on on in spring and see how that goes.
I tried running 15 inch rims/tires until once on my 52, and it started screaming at 40 MPH. With 16 inch stock rims/tires, it didn't scream until 50-55.
