Mavic A319 is a 25mm wide 700c rim. Shimano XT hubs are 135mm rear 100mm front. I'm going to use 35-40mm tires and 9-speed 11-32 cassette. The riding will be pavement and smooth gravel - not any real offroad touring. I'll load the bike so that it'll probably be around 60-65% back and 35-40% front - not complete sure. Anyway the bike has drop bars quite high up and both rear rack with panniers and light camping equipment and lowriders with smaller front panniers.
The wheels are probably poorly built but I'll take them to a good wheelbuilder for "braking in" and truing. 2010/8/25 Bob Cooper <robertcoo...@frontiernet.net> > I’m sure others will weigh in on this, but the numbers alone are not > encouraging. > > Other questions: > > Weight distribution front and back? > How smooth the road? > How wide the tires? > Diameter of the rim (20-inch, 28-inch)? > How wide the rims? > Off-center rims? > How wide the OLD (126, 130, 135)? > How many sprockets (one, five, eleven)? > > And now, the Pièce de résistance: Who built the wheels? > > My two cents, > > Bob > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<rbw-owners-bunch%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
