I guess it depends on what your "dirt" roads are like. Where I ride, the Hetre's been splendid. But my "dirt roads" are well maintained gravel roads, typically on very hard packed Virginia clay. There's nothing soft or squishy about them - hard as a miser's heart would be more like it. > Or the Neo-motos if it's ALL dirt.

There are folks who rode the 100 mile version of D2R2 on 23mm slicks. How, I can't possibly imagine! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
