I like how the Marathon Supremes ride, very smooth, fast and with great
grip. They inspire a lot of confidence, but I'm sure the geometry and
handling of the AHH play a significant role there as well.
If I get the chance, I'll try the Paselas. Otherwise, I need to wear down

Hi Jim,
I guess I fall into the thin category--6'1", 185 pounds--I really like
my MUSA pants and found that I had to buy a size larger than I'm

I am certainly thin. Sounds as though my sartorial preferences may be
opposite yours, however. I cannot stand, and do not wear skin tight
riding garments. At least with pants and shorts I find regular fit
can chaffe. So I prefer to wear looser pants and shorts.
I only use the MUSA on tours.
Gosh, now I feel weird about the pants I wear almost every day.
I'm thin, average height. MUSA pants fit just right, not to tight or
billowy. The velcro cuffs are key. Great pants.

I agree. However, in my experience, the pasela sidewalls are just too

too. But I won't buy them again if I have other choices. I have had

No, it won't work. The Paul racer has a longer reach, similar to the
extra long sidepulls. However, you can find used post mounted
centerpull brakes(Weinmann, Dia compe) that have a shorter reach. I

Don't bother getting posts on your Ram.
Paul will soon be releasing a new medium reach centerpull that, in my
opinion, is even better than the regular centerpull. Why do I say
that? Because it has the same qualities as the Racer, but the arms are
shorter. Less flex, more stopping power, better mo
