55mm tires plus fenders, these are going to be super.

55mm Rene Herse knobbies fit the Platypus with ample clearance all around.
I actually think it’s an ideal sized tire for the bike.
Fenders with these tires would not be ideal.

Walking is great, moving around in any way is really good for you.
Moving heavy objects at full exertion a few times per week will keep your
core really strong.
Exercises that isolate muscle groups might make you look good but they
won’t strengthen your core the way “functional training” will.

Super 77 and the super 90 are permanent and you will have to pick the cork off

That’s a bummer.
Most hardware stores sell foam pipe covers designed for insulating water pipes.
They are split along their length.
I use them whenever I ship a bike or frame.
