Hi all, hoping to get some thoughts on the role of wheels in acceleration and climbing.
I recently picked up my first Riv (Hillborne) and am running Dyads and Barlow Pass tires. Among other things, I'm amazed at the difference in acceleration, speed, and particularly climbing vs my other bike, which is a pretty heavy Salsa Marrakesh with stock wheels (WTB sx19 and Shimano m475 hubs) and Cazaderos. I'm not necessarily jumping to replace the Marrakesh's wheels ATM, but I am curious whether anyone has thoughts on whether or not that's likely the difference I'm feeling in acceleration and speed? There's definitely a substantial weight difference between the two builds, but I've loaded up the Sam a few times and it's still way quicker. I'd just swap the wheels, but the Marrakesh's are disc. thoughts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
