This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I ordered a pair of 20×2.20″ Maxxis Holy Rollers for Lael’s Hooligan. She insisted that she wear out the current tires, 1.5″ Kenda Kwest slicks, but once the tires arrived I couldn’t resist. I admire her resolve to wear through tires, but these Lil’ Rollers are tons of fun. They add to the diverse absurdity of the Hooligan. The current build incorporates comfortable stylish parts from Velo Orange, some lightweight Revelate Designs bags for daily commute-packing, and these little Maxxis beefcakes. Anymore, Lael loves Maxxis tires. She likes upright handlebars, lightweight camping loads, and chunky rubber.
Some fun LED lights light up the night. Thanks to Linda and Lanny for these fun holiday gifts.
Velo Orange Tourist handlebars offer a classic look in a practical dimension. For a round town bike, the rise and sweep on these bars is perfect. Also, VO cork grips.
The tire rolls well, although it is marketed as a BMX/Dirt Jump/Urban Assualt tire. For Lael, it’s a versatile commuting tire that can hit the trails in a pinch.
Some comfortable Clarks and large platform pedals make for happy feet. These new Velo Orange Sabot pedals are buttery smooth as they use a series of sealed cartridge bearings. Rounded pins improve traction.
Neo-retro– a Velo Orange Model 3 saddle and a Revelate Viscacha seatbag.
Of course, every practical bike must have a bell. This is my favorite way to mount one.
Some cheap Bell sunglasses and a Giro Reverb helmet round out the Lael’s specialized commuting kit.
A couple of Hooligans.

That is such a good bike. I was sad they never sold them stateside when I worked for a Cannondale dealer. I imagine it similar but much better than a Raleigh 20 in almost any way. I will keep my eye out on the secondhand market…
Awesome taste in bike swag. Loving my Hooli too, and I’m 6′ tall
Great write up and pic about the Hooligan, I ordered one last week and can’t wait for it to come in sometime towards the end of September or first of October.
Super fun bike! Have fun with it.
Thank you for your site. I have been researching an adventure type travelling bike that I can pack up and transport in a big case rather than a folding bike. Do you know how long the main frame is (at its longest point)? My idea is to remove wheels, fork and handlebars, pedals, seat post and pack it into a case.
I also thought about the holy rollers. Another good looking tyre is the kenda small block 8, 20 x 2.1, folding and dual rubber compound.
I don’t know how long the bike is when packed, but with the front fork and wheel removed the package is small enough to pack on the plane without paying for a bike, and small enough to pack without a hard sided case or a box. The Cannonade Hooligan is a great ride, especially with a big tire like the Holy Roller or the others you mention.
