I've ridden a lot of miles on all of these tires. so to add to Rob's comments, I think the cypres wins hands down in terms of acceleration and climbing on paved roads. the Hetre and PM are great tires but they bounce/deflect to much for my tastes when I jump on 'em, even at higher psi. it's especially noticeable when I'm out of the saddle. anybody else experience that? but, really - how much hard accelerating does one do on a casual/non- competitve ride? and my experience with the bouncy/squishy feeling is only a minor annoyance. so, not really an issue - if I'm looking to sprint and accelerate over rollers or on climbs, i'm most likely on another bike. regarding handling: I like all three, but would probably give the edge to the PM on both paved and un-paved/hardpack surfaces. really grippy and corners great. I lost traction on the cypres a few days ago . . . don't think it would have happened with the PMs (or Hetres). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
