So, I won't be buying a Roadeo. What hubs do you have on the Canti Rom? Reason I ask, I have Maxi Cars on the Bruce Gordon. Rims are Velocity Dyad. Tires 38 Marathon Supremes. It is going to be awhile before I have time for a camping trip, so I have the racks off. Today I took it for about a 40 mile ride. The Gordon is not a fast bike. It is not meant to be. But those Maxi Cars roll so well I was able to fall into a great cadence. Before I knew it, I was zipping by just about everyone on the paths. Still not all that crowded here in Chicago. The day looked sumptuous, but there was a definite nip in the air and a bit of a wind. Weather person says tomorrow is going to be miserable, then a warming trend that should see a block of 70s. Yipee (Course that means back on the roads for me. Trails the first real warm days of Spring are about the most dangerous place to ride, what with all the first timers.)
