#!markdown tires are personal - these might not be what you'd run but i'm betting they're in the same class. i goofed on the wheels - as someone on facebook pointed out they're e1700 spline 2's, with rims almost identical (25mm internal width) to the flow ex. i don't think stock 35mm cockpits are common yet. the bars are an odd spec to me, and i've already swapped them out for something with a bit more sweep and width. the brakes… we'll see. lots of people are shy on sram stoppers and for good reason, but the guides have been getting good press and these budget versions have impressed me so far at the end of the day you have to appreciate that this is a stock bike, not a custom build, and you're never going to please everyone. the bar is the only head scratcher to me - every other piece is well chosen and suited for its intended purpose
