You may want to take that into consideration. Wow, that has not been my experience at all with Paselas in 700 x 25 and 700 x 28; in 559 x 32 I think they are marvelous in corners. I wonder if differences in weight, bike geometry, etc. might highlight or reduce certain handling characteristics. I find the Paselas roll much better than the Rolly Polys I had, but that was back from the first production run of the RPs and maybe there have been some changes made since then. IIRC my RPs had folding beads and were a bit lighter than the Paselas- it's been a long time since I used the RPs! Now that I think about it, Panaracer made changes in the tread design a couple of years ago. Did you use the new ones or the old ones? I have only ridden the new ones. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
