I was able to get out for about an hour yesterday, and the weather was
great (mid-40s, sunny). I took the time to ride through some of the
neighboring towns, searching for my blue Ram that was stolen back in
December. There's the faintest glimmer of hope that I might just come
across it...someday. Until then, I'm happy on my replacement orange Ram.
The best part of yesterday's ride, though, was that it was the first time
I've ever ridden my Rambouillet with tires larger than 28s.
When I bought my blue Ram in 2005, it was set up with Ruffy-Tuffys. I
liked the ride, never had problems, so I just kept replacing them when they
wore out. Along the way, I had purchased some white Paselas ('cuz they
looked nice), but was never happy with the way they felt.
My replacement-Ram came with Conti Gatorskins (28), which seemed nice
enough. I gave the white Paselas another try (Cream-sicle Ram!), but was
still disappointed. Someone on the list was selling some used Jack Brown
(greens) a little while ago, so I picked them up. I finally got around to
putting them on this weekend, and out I went Sunday afternoon. Wow! I
don't know what I was expecting, but the ride was both comfortable and
quick. Now, If I could just get them to fit under those VO 45mm fenders I
have in the garage...
