The hoops are okay but you’ll want to upgrade the rubber for something that rolls well but is tougher (6/10) Wheels: Training tyres on training-grade wheels.Equipment: A road triple allows a constant cadence across variety of terrain, though the cassette could go bigger for heavier riders or hills.Stronger riders may appreciate the tighter rear triangle and oversized seatpost (7/10) Nippy as a naughty cycle courier around town, it’s a bit bruising for long rides.
