True, but tires and wheel size/makes made no diff, in my experience between the bike models. (GB30,42/Compass28,32, 38, 42/Pasela/Swifty/Rumpkin/Marathons). Whole spectrum tried. Alleged fastest and alleged slowest tires made. 650b/700c. Twin Holla’/GB/Pacenti/Synergy/A23/CR18/, LX/VO,Velocity/105, Sapim/DTSwiss/Wheelman wheelsets.
Each bike model retained its innate ride characteristics no matter what I used, though suppler tires helped them each along individually. All my Rivs had Rivish Nitto/Sugino builds, except my 55 Bleriot was Ultegra’d out. Still rode like my heavier 53 Nitto/Sugino Bleriot. Sam rides like Bleriot. Ram a step above. Roadeo a leap above them all. Roadeo in a different efficiency/speed class than my other 4 rivs. Regardless of tire model, I found that a Bleriot still rides like a Bleriot; Sam like a Sam; a Ram like a Ram, etc. Roadeo a step above in ease of movin on down the road. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
