Hi all,
I'm looking at a cheap-ish commuter bike for short runs to the station. It's hard to see past the Carrera Subways, but the 27.5" wheel size is giving me pause.
I'd want mudguards and a rack on the bike, and anticipate having to replace tyres fairly frequently with something relatively p* protected. How much of a pain is this (to me) unusual size when it comes to sourcing tyres, mudguards, replacement wheels &c &c?
