    So I'm looking real hard at a smartpie for the wifes bike. I've had a bad year with gears so I want a dd. Most dd hubs are heavy and are far more motor then we need. The smartpie sounds perfect for a 20" rim. Wifes a 150 pounds so it doesn't have to pull hard. There is barely feedback on this...

    I really wanted holy rollers but the LBS only had these and i liked the look. I have about 1k miles on em and love em. They corner amazingly well and stick well even on the shiny asphalt. Yet take em on gravel and they feel allright, little loose on the gravel but that's expected. They barely...
