I can't speak to the Big One, but my experience is that the ride feel on all but technical singletrack of the Barlow Pass/Snoqualmie/Sheilacoom and the Thunder Burt 2.1" LiteSkin is very parallel to one another, with the expected differences in slight increase of noise due to knobbies, and the different feel of wider/not as supple but near the same effect of the TB's vs the narrower/more supple Rene Herse.
My experience of them in sandy/muddly/snowy: I'd take the TB's over all, with the Steilacooms second (supple tires ride wider than their width, if that makes sense). Slicks, however wide, just don't handle loose stuff very well. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
