Grinch: The hubs/wheels felt better when riding, could not tell while spinning in my hands. The rims are slightly heavier than the others, but weight was not an issue here in Whoville.

The vertical flex of bike wheels in the load affected zone is on the order of the thickness of a sheet of paper. Individual differences between tires would overwhelm any differences between the road feel of different wheels in terms of ride smoothness. Weight differences could be noticeable if the difference is large enough. I would doubt that 50-100 grams would be noticeable. Hubs can be obviously different when spinning the axle with your fingers. Are they noticeable in how they feel when riding? I have doubts although I wouldn't rule it out entirely. I think that differences could be identified by stopwatch but probably not so much by ride feel. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
