Spare stock wheelset from another bike

Pair of Maxxis Hookworm 29x2.5 second hand for $40

A bit of $ on rotors

These tires certainly roll fast!

how does she ride? i imagine 20 mph is quite easy.

Maybe narrower tyres?

Not for the queen - her speed limiter kicks in at 15.5 mph

Forgive me, as I am relatively new the topic, but isn’t it 20mph, at least in the USA? I think it’s around 15 or so for europe. At least that’s what it feels like on my m20, but maybe it’s different on the H series

Yes it is 20mph in the US, and 15.5mph in the Uk and Europe, which is utterly absurd. Your avatar is the Queen. Hence her Rise is capped at 15.5mph.

Ah yes, thanks! I had forgotten about that. I just found it hilarious

Those tyres look awesome. I've only ever seen them advertised in bmx sizes - 20".
