I just put on my new tires on my new mountain bike.
The bike is a Polygon Siskiu D5. I bought it from Bikes Online and I have to say that they were a joy to do business with. The shipping was quick and the package was perfectly arranged. I don’t believe I could get a better bike for the money. I’m very happy with it!
The old 2.25 spiderbait tires were more of a mtb/gravel combo, so I bought some new Maxxis trail/enduro exo tires. A 2.5 Aggressor for the rear and a 2.4 Minion DHR II for the front. They are boost tires (over sized). I also converted the tires from tube to tubeless.
I changed the pedals. The originals were fairly poor quality. I guess some who bought this bike didn’t care for the handle bar because it is larger than usual, but after taking it out on some trails I found that the large handle bar gives you more control. I like it!
I did a thing on tarseal not gunna lie, it was fun. Also easier than a MTB race ————- #signaturepose #iridetoliveilivetoride #iride #cerveloaspero #roval #shimanonz #maxxis #maxxisroad (at Wallaceville, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKe57fXlRT4/?igshid=1rbh1rtk7cjfo
