I ride a 56 cm Sam. It used to feel too heavy to be my go-fast, but then I sold my go-fast (run of the mill trek road bike), so my Sam has to do it all. I've got it with a schmidt dynohub, 7spd, all the usual Riv bits, including Marathon Extremes. I do ride with clipless ATACs though. I ride with people on carbon and 23mms, and they beat me up a climb but generally if the ride is long, I'll do ok, and if the road is rough I will be well ahead. I've gradually got faster on the Sam...and I am well pleased I decided to use it as the go-fast so I would recommend making sure your fit is good and just riding harder.
Oh, it helped a lot for me to jack the noodles up super high and ride in the drops all the time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
