I'm a believer. Nonetheless, there's plenty to be said for what it feels like to ride a bike, for the rider's perception. Unless you are racing, the experience is probably more important than the actual tire efficiency. I like the feel of Paselas (non TG) and of Jack Browns (green).
My mind likes to wander on good rides, and so at various times I feel like I'm riding with bike eFriends -- Sheldon, Kent, Grant, Jan, Tyler, Andrew, Jobst, Patrick, Fast Eddy, Smokin' Phil, Fred, Disco Stu, and you -- and I am usually just in a dream world, not with them in reality. When I ride Paselas, I smile with Jan, knowing I'm getting the most for my money, a good ride that's hard to beat. When I ride JBs, I wink over at Grant, enjoying a great ride, and thanking my friend for all his hard work and good advice. But then again, sometimes I just like slogging along with Kent on a heavy kevlar tire, getting there in just about the same amount of time, and with not one flat all winter long. The stock pile of Avocet Roads is sadly gone. Best, Larry > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
