but what makes the "pari-moto" an "event" tire compared to other supple, performance tires? is the rubber compound made partly of crushed paint chips from old singers and herses? is the casing woven with hair samples from the world's great randonneurs? and does "event" mean "fragile?" because it makes zero sense to have a 38mm tire that you can't ride off road and beat up a little. none of this is directed at you, Joel. just general musings on this whole "event" marketing thing. and i totally understand wanting to keep your good sneaks clean and all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
