Hi,
My neighborhood roads are much worse than those in Steve's photos. My
wife & I both thought something was wrong with our bikes, because we didn't
experience that same "Wow!" when we brought our new Riv's home. Turns out,
those road surfaces near Riv HQ were simply smoother than what's outside
our door. Changing from Big Ben's to Compass Pass tires solved our road
buzz/bump issues.
But this was with a Hunqapillar and a Betty Foy with albaross bars. On my
new AHH, with noodle bars, I find I'm much less affected by these same
neighborhood bumps & cracks, even riding Little Ben tires.
I have to admit, though, that I inflate all my tires enough to insure they
don't get squirrelly on the turns. Deflating stiff tires enough to be cushy
is not an option in our traffic & on our hills.
OTOH, I could see myself putting up with all the buzz I would get if I was
commuting on Marathons simply because I need to get there on time everyday,
come hell or high water.
John
