    EMTBs with road wheels?

    I just posted in a separate post a second wheelset 29" x 2.6 schwabe g force. I'm going to move the cassette back and forth to avoid unequal cassette wear seeing the smooth tires are for an occasional ride not daily switching. Otherwise both wheel are totally complete. Omg what a difference.

    Using deep cycle batt/batts to charge Shimano battery

    @flash and all...I agree that I shouldn't expect too much from this janked setup of old batts. While on the cheap my fear was to ruin the Shimano charger.
