I bought some 28-622s online rather than 37-622s but now I am thinking they may be 'too thin' for daily commuting. What do you think?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-51902307414148070202014-08-31T20:21:20.672+08:002014-08-31T20:21:20.672+08:00Just wanted to chime in basically what Hinsane sai...Just wanted to chime in basically what Hinsane said. I was thinking about an Inc 3 and your website answered enough questions that I now have a new bike (and a steep learning curve ahead of me). Thankyou for putting so much information about this bike online. I didn't get a manual with mine either, but I'm going to hit the bikeshop and see if they've got one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-18956426995226957172014-04-23T13:17:35.759+08:002014-04-23T13:17:35.759+08:00Hi, came across your blog after I purchased my fir...Hi, came across your blog after I purchased my first ever bike, the Avanti Inc 2.0. A fantastic and very informative series of articles on the customisation of your Inc 3.0. I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. You have definitely inspired me to continue with my new found interest.

It shouldn't interfere with the brake hose if its mounted closer towards the crank but pedal/crank arm clearance could be the only issue.

There are also the hydraulic hose for the rear brake and the shifter cable running along the underside of the left and right chainstays respectively.<br /><br />The kickstand would add another 500+ grams to this already heavy bike, and it will pick up more dirt. Think I will try to go without a kickstand and see if it works for me.tylstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202331639299348481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932426191875887596.post-19475103419433505202013-11-04T07:47:53.195+08:002013-11-04T07:47:53.195+08:00Thumbs up for the accessorizing.
