    Maxxis Re-fuse tires

    I've only ridden about 550 miles on my Kona Dew-E DL bike. It has Maxxis Re-fuse tires. I already got a flat - of course on the back tire. There was a glass sliver in it. I do a lot of city riding and glass etc. is not always avoidable. I probably only got flats every few years on my Surley...

    Do you still ride your analog bicycle?

    Leaning toward Kona Dew-e. Your experience

    My Surly Long Haul Trucker and I have been happily aging together. But both of us are showing some wear. I'm 68 but my Surly would rather not say. I'm thinking an e bike is in my future to keep up with friends who are getting ebikes and give me some help on hills or windy days. I have a list...
