This is my Carrera Subway do-it-all bike, with newly fitted cream Big Apples.

Possibly a fashion faux pas, but the cream tyres were half the price of the black ones because nobody wanted them!

I actually like the retro look and no, I am no hipster

My 1x10 MTB in 'road mode', now sporting 2.35" Schwalbe slicks and a 38t oval chainring.

Such fun to bomb about on

Very cool! What's the thinking behind the oval chain ring? I don't think I've seen that on a MTB before.

According to the bumpf ....It maximises the part of the stroke where power is produced (wider part of the oval) and minimize resistance where it isn't (narrower part of the oval). It makes the spin cycle a lot smoother and is easier on legs while climbing.

It certainly smooths out the way the powers gets put down especially on loose/steeper ground. For off-road I swap it for a 32t oval

Ta!

That's similar to the logic for having them on TT isn't it? Only there it's for speed not climbing.
