Also, if you want to get even more speed out of it, get rid of the mountain tires. I installed a "Specialized Crossroads Flak Jacket Protection" 26" x 1.95" tire on the front which has much less road resistance. It has a max inflation pressure of 80 PSI. It upped my speed from 15.1. MPH to 16.4 MPH under identical conditions. I just haven't been able to install the rear yet because I'm trying to figure out how to do it on this bike.

Nice ride! I see you got the wireless speedometer as well. I was thinking about getting some Fat Frank tires because they are huge and increase the total size of the tires by at least a few inches which would increase the top speed as well. Not sure what the total PSI is though. How much were the tires you go? I was also concerned about installing the back tire as well but that will be my next modification. If I can increase my avg top speed to 30MPH with a simple tire change that would be awesome!
Anyway I have taken so many pictures of how to perform the modification that it will take a few hours to put them all togather and add directions. I should have them complete tomorrow night.
Just got done with a two day test and posted the results in the bike section check it out.
