Yeah, I think this is the large Hilsen that often pops up on ebay from
time to time. Certainly smells fishy.

I had similar issues with my QB. The Q-factor was a bit much with the
stock Sugino XD cranks, and I didn't use the small ring. As it
happened, I had a spare set of Shimano Tiagra double cranks, which I

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Yes, those are the Soma brass

price is just a bit steep - $101! Hmmm. I will probably settle for
the less perfect Soma chromoplastic in what they call Pearl Blue. Life

Speaking of fenders, while I remember, I notice in old photos that stage

Well, you're right about the Spot. In hindsight, I should have left it with

The sidewalls are definitly different. The Tserve are a solid black
rubber; The Pasella are a beige (nylon?) fabric. I ride a lot of dirt
roads and the tserves hold up a lot better.

Hey Seth, I've used both the kevlar and steel bead versions and didn't
really notice a difference. Definitely check out some 700x35s, whether

Do you have any experience with kevlar vs steel beads? Does it change
the ride much?

I just switched out 26 x 1.25 Tservs for 1.5 inch Marsthon Racers and
am very happy. I'd say the racers feel almost exactly as fast as the
narrower tservs. The 1.5 in Pasela Tourguards I had felt considerably
slower. I also got my first flat in over a year. Maybe just
coincidence, but we'll se

Here in SoCal the Metrolink commuter rail system is extensive enough

The mention of sidewall cuts reminds me that the stock Paselas

lots of small cuts in the sidewalls. The T-serv on the rear took the
