so can i change to semi slick/slick tyres on the original Anthem 1 rims?

i have another wheelset for off road use and i'm using Sun Rhyno rims. good enough to handle the off road thrashing and beating.

i was thinking of semi slick or slick tyres as i was hoping to commute to work in this bike.

of course, have to lock it up at my workstation so it won't 'kenna stunt' la...lol

Change semi slicks lah, slicks on full sus look gay leh

LOL.. ya lo.. my height is right smack in the "grey zone" of the L and XL size I think.. but chose L since a slightly smaller frame would be more agile and easier to handle. XL would be good for my leg length but I might have to stretch further over the top tube.

so TheoDR, how did u pay the bike?? by credit card?

Hmm? Haven't checked the Anthem 0's specs though.. I don't have a speedo installed on my Anthem, but judging from what I got from on my NRS, I seem to be averaging 28kph on the Anthem without headwind etc. And that's after more than a year of being lazy and not cycling. Top speed wise, easily over 55kph for a limited stretch till my legs give way.

wtf...28kph on average?thats fast leh.my current old hardtail average 25kph only.yours still FS.COOL SIA

Light:
DT240 Hubs
DT Revo Spokes
Sun Equilizer 21 Rims

My Setup:
XTR Hubs
DT Comp Spokes
Mavic 717 Rims
