Conversion of mountain tyres to slick/touring tyres.

Get ready the operation theatre first..
* Posting and camwhore* Now the bypass is going on.. cabut the tube lah..
* tHIS SHImano rims is damn heavy but tahan lasak.
* Putting the tubes back into the tyre is a little bit tricky. You gotta release completely all the tube tyre air before putting it in. I did the rear tyre twice realizing the off balance..
* There you have it slick and thin.. * A huge different in term of size.
I was glad that I do not have to change the tubing to fit the touring tyre. So safe some penny.. The feel of riding on a touring tyres are very very much different. You can feel faster acceleration of course and how the tyres grabbing the road is so much different altogether especially when you are trying to negotiate a turn or executing some pothole surviving skills.
Now the downside is everytime now and then I wanna gone offroad... I need to change again lah..I think I could get it done in less than 15 minutes after some practise.
Mum was nagging why the chain and the areas was dirty.. It was a mountain bike auntie..
