I'm hoping to try Naches Passes ELs on the new bike once Chauncey rebuilds my fork for more clearance. I'm curious how those of you who have tried the NP EL as a fast road tire compare it to fast road tires like, for example, the Challenge Parigi Roubaix, or the fastest of the RH road tires. Me, I want to know how it compares on pavement with the Elk Pass.
If the NPs roll like the EPs, the NPs may become the default instead of the occasional tire for the new bike. If not, not. The bike is principally a pavement bike. I do have a used 1.75 Pasela that I'm using as a tire fit gauge but I think I'll pass on buying a mate; save a few bucks toward the NPs. I know I'm not going to substitute the Pasela for the Elk Pass! ----------------- To pick up the new 120 mm OL Surly fixed wheel tomorrow and give the new bike a try with a 70" fixed gear. I anticipate nice things, compared to the bike it replaces, and I may well have to bump up the chainring to a 50 for a 73"/65" gear combination with the 17/19 Dingle. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
