If I remember correctly, he wrote to me that the Swifty was some certain percentage slower than the other tires tested, which theoretically results in being hours slower of a finish time on long event rides over hundreds of miles like you are planning on the brevets than if you were on a Hetre or Cypres, which tested to be the fastest of the 650b tires, if I remember correctly. Of course, you can read his methodology for yourself and see what you think of his tests. He can give you the link to the results and methodology pages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
