They'll be fine as they are.

35 will be fine. I did a long ride with a new back tyre on my bike. Did a courner fast, had a good speed going and just lent the bike right over. Felt the back wheel slip abit, but it was fine.
Did 77 miles on it, and it was fine. It was even fine before then, because i did a few more tight courners fast aswell.
Oh, i have unbranded hubs(might be Shimano 2200 hubs?) and i will still wipe the floor with both of you, so i wouldnt be bothering about what hubs you have

 

[Young Un]

Yeah fair enough you can wipe the floor with me, but I am only 14 so three years younger than you. My averages are also getting faster and faster so just you watch out

It was aimed at 'ilovebikes' more though because he was doing the, 'Oh i have Dura-ace hubs which makes me better then you' thing

Just keep thinking that, when youy get someone go flying past you up a hill, or on the flat, when your dieing on your expensive bike, and they are on a cheaper, heavier bike
But you have probably had that happen, did it make you feel bad?

I can.
So then, with your hubs that have a Dura-ace sticker on, how fast can you do 60 miles, or even 90miless?
