I concur. My favorite 26" tire is the 1.75 Pasala. When I had a 56cm Atlantis, I used that tire and it was perfect for me: fast enough, cushy, great roller and cornerer. I miss having a 26" tired road-type bike. I like the 650b thing and my favorite tire of all time is the Hetre, but there's something really fun, spry, and tough about a 26"-wheeled road-ish bike. I had a 26"-wheeled Kogswell for a week, but then my buddy claimed it... as per plan. I wouldn't mind having another and I'd probably bite on a cheap (ha!) 55cm XO1 or 57-ish 1st gen All-Rounder. I'd run the 1.75 Pasala on that for sure. Lovely tire that. -- John Speare Spokane, WA USA http://cyclingspokane.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
