Designing the perfect commuter?

[potsy]

I use a "Thorn" resistant inner tube on the front.When I first bought it I thought it was a tub (racing tyre) it's so think.Heavy though and with an armadillo tyre.

Dyno Hub is drag...I ran one for years.Stilll have a few floating about.Had to get weight off of the bike though.

Where did you get those tubes hackers? Are they a 700c version?

My commuting bike has to (a) have as little as possible to go wrong and ( combine the lowest chance of puncture with the quickest fix if I do have a flat.

Consequently it's a fixed wheel (about 68 inch) and runs tubs - fairly high quality ones which are therefore very puncture resistant (and a joy to ride) but which I can change if a have to faster than I can replace a tube. (Arriving late at work is not an option.)

It's not a bike I use for much else, but for commuting it's the biz.
