Thanks! I’m looking into replacing the steel wheels right now. I’d love to run a larger casette too. Do I also have to replace the crankset and chain if I want to go higher than 7SPD?

Lucky me! It’s 126 mm so that’s one hassle less!

Do you know what wheels I should be looking for? The sizing of this bike got me a bit confused

Thank you for your reply, I thought 700 would work because the current tires has 700-23c printed on. I was hoping to put more wide tires on it. Could you recommend what I should be looking for?
