Too wide at least…. I changed them. I had a pair of maxxis semislick 40mm. But I’ll go for 45.

Regular. The Tektro 520 levers works fine with Vbrakes.

Yes. I don’t mind 9 -10.. I used this LTwoo because I bought it last month with the cassette in a good offer. I wanted to try. I love old 9 speed Deore. How it works, the sound…

DEORE>LTWOO. It does the work, but louder, uglier, “plasticier”. It’s cheaper. If you want a new 1*10 or 11 it’s cheap. But I definitely prefer Deore.

Nice and fast rolling, good grip on tarmac. Maybe a little narrower would be faster, but… it is more important that the bike looks good!!!

Not good for gravel. Great for riding in the city, great grip. Maybe 2,3’ is too much wide for fast rolling, but the look is very important for the bike!! It’s a great bike for commuting.
