"If pros and top amateurs still race on tubulars it is because the *ride quality and the more important, the performance is superior*. That is the way I see it, because pro riders will normally ride whatever they are paid to ride; all other things being equal. " And: "They are lightweight, some can be inflated up to 130 psi so there is very little rolling resistance. At the same time b*ecause they are a complete tube, they absorb the shocks of riding over very rough road surfaces*. They are extremely responsive and this is why they are preferred for racing, you make a sudden effort and the wheels and tires respond immediately." -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW at resumespecialt...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
