I've been debating whether to change the solid Specialized Resolution tyres on the bike to something lighter like the Continental Speed Kings or Panaracer Razers but am wondering if I'll get pinch flats and punctures. I prob also need a longer seat post as there is a cm or 2 between the min mark on the post and frame.
