Thanks for the compliments. Michael, I don't do the mountains (the Sandias on ABQ's eastern edge), so the biggest hills are the rolling ones that characterize our terrain as it rises from the 4950 ft valley to the 6500 feet city border on the east and the several hundred foot higher West Mesa. For this, I find a small selection of gears adequate -- not too long ago I torqued my Dahon Hon Solo in the 68" gear up the steepest 4 miles of Tramway to the city's easternmost boulevard (and my my quads were trembly and sore for several days afterward).
Ron: very good to know that Stan's will secure a tube against larger punctures than thorn ones. So, you use only half of one of those small, 2 oz bottles? Richard: I don't find that sealant -- 2 oz in road tubes, probably 4 oz in the tubeless 50 mm 700C F Freds -- affects the ride at all. The Compass Elk Passes ride delightfully with 70 gram tube and 70 gr of sealant; and the Kojaks, run with sealant but no tubes, were hugely smoother and I daresay faster than the Kojaks run with tubes but no sealant. At any rate, I hope my tires from now on will be limited to such as the Elk Pass and the Furious Fred, which both roll amazingly well. sealant or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
