[RBW] Is a Gus the right choice for me? Would a Platypus be better?

roke in a fall last year so I like bars with lots of sweep (Jones Loop is wonderful). Gearing and tires being equal would the Gus perform as well on the road as the Platypus? Thanks for the help! Cheers, Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I'm running 36h 650b Cliffhangers with 57mm G-One "All-Around". Because the rims are tubeless compatible, changing a tubed tire takes a little more patience — that's not a deal-breaker for me, but may be for some. I've had them for years and have zero complaints. On a side note, working with Ve

29in rims, or...? I may be looking to size up on my 52cm Clem L to a 59cm and I'm super curious to how 29's perform on this size. Any experience with that (if, of course I'm reading the specs right and the bike can take 29in wheels)? Does this introduce toe-overlap? Jacob San
