The Lierre hasn't received much love on the lists, but I like mine just fine. Some have said the tread siping catches small stones that then puncture the tires, but although mine have captured some small stones, I've never had punctures. I use the Lierre on my Kogswell P/R, which really was designed for a 38mm tire. The P/R is mainly used as my touring bike. I had a set of Pari Motos on the bike but put the Lierres on when my bike club was going on a tour of the gravel surfaced Greenbrier Trail in West Virginia. We were on that tour only a few miles from the eipcenter on Earthquake Day. Since then I've used the bike on gravel roads on the C&O Canal, the Great Allegheny Passage and most recently on the Delaware Water Gap Adventure tour, and never a flat. So, for my money, if 38mm is your maximum tire size and you want something a little sturdier than an event tire, the Lierre is just the ticket. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
