Man the f**k up and find a real girl. And stop masturbating over that pic of the missis i sent you... Shes enjoying it...

26" at the smallest. The whole concept behind smaller wheels is to enable you to navigate through rough terrain easier, there's no need for this in what i would assume your commute would be hence why i would recommend sticking to 700. 90% of the specific hybrid bikes out there are 700c, but what we have been selling alot of lately are mountain bikes which the customer has then adapted to become more of a hybrid (slick tyers, bar ends ect..). Also personally speaking i think disk brakes are a bit too powerful for hybrid bikes, sure there good when your tearing down a hill at 40mph and your tyers and rims are getting caped in mud which would pretty much make any sort of rim brake useless, but for stopping at a set of traffic lights the kind of brakes you have on there at the moment are about right. Another problem you may also come accross is finding some 26" rims/tyers narrow enough to sit inside your existing frame and fork set-up. The only 'decent' hybrid i know of that is 26" is the Carrera Subway, which also comes with disk brakes, sounds alot like the one you mentioned in your post. This one by any chance? Obviously all the info i'm giving you, is just information, and if you feel more comfortable then by all means go for a smaller wheel, but honestly, i don't see anything much wrong with the bike as it is currently...

Personally i'd try and stick with the 700 wheels. Although at first they may be a bit wobbly once you get used to them they will be a great benifit. Could always go down the line of a wider profile tyre, something like a 700 x 35c, looks like your running a 28c at the mo, but that is all dependant on tyre clearance. I would recommend continental, have a look on there website as they have an extremely vast range. With regards to wheels your best bet will probably be some second hand ones from ebay, that way you can still get a decent set but at a more realistic price. Any Mavic, Shimano, DT Swiss, Campag gear will be spot on.

Its for charity, 56 miles isnt really a distance to shout about if you ride every day.

Yes. Because that wouldn't be anything to do with track bikes or would it now? Doing a time trial on a fixed gear'd bike has to be one of theee most stupid thing's i've heard this year!

lol I dont think i've ever seen so much bull in one post. Since the beginning of time when do people ride time trials on fixed bikes?!?!?! Also you'd have to be some amazing athlete and STUPID to do a hill climb event on a fixed gear'd bike. Most experienced cyclists would laugh themselves to death with that post. If you dont know about cycling, dont try and bullshit it. 4x4 are made for rough terrain Sports car's are made for going fast Fixie's are made for commuting Road bikes are made for going fast See the pattern people?

and if your store is in the top 50 performing stores they pay for your cytech!

Do you realise how gay you sounded then?

Actually i was proving a point. If you don't like something, don't reply to it...

You should have heard what he called your mum.

man the f**k up and get a grip.

If Krisboats feels the need to issue a warn for that then he's not doing his job correctly. There must be hundreds of posts like that, and how many have actually got a warning? Just seems a bit cheeky/powertripish..
