RE: [RBW] Re: 32mm Tires on A Rambouillet

Given all the various rubber componds available you would think that it would be possible to create a solid tire that would ride like a pneumatic tire. Probably isn't anyone's priority. Larry Powers Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. - Mark Twain > Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2

Re: [RBW] Re: 32mm Tires on A Rambouillet

Nathan, I think Steve's compare/contrast was pretty spot on. I can add that I flatted RTs pretty regularly via goathead thorns and that the tread started peeling off on my tires . The GBs are the most fantastic riding tires I have ever owned,

I know, I know it's not a fair comparison, but since Larry did it I'm interested in his findings :) I'm thinking of RP's too, as well as JB's - though I'll doubt they'll fit (this is for a new-to-me '90 RB-1 I'm gathering parts for). -nathan On Jan 15, 2010, at 2:11 PM, Steve Palincsar wr

Larry, can you comment as to the ride quality and flat-ability differences between the Ruffy Tuffy and the Cypress? I'm currently considering between the two and haven't read any head-on comparisons between em. -nathan On Jan 15, 2010, at 12:06 PM, Larry Powers wrote: The only advanta

The only advantage was that I had them installed on my bike when I went from ruffy tuffy's to the 30mm grand bois. Larry Powers Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. - Mark Twain > Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:22:48 -0800 > Subject: [RBW] Re: 32mm Tires on A Rambouillet > From

RE: [RBW] Re: 32mm Tires on A Rambouillet

I did run Grand Bois 30's sith SKS 35's. Clearance was tight as you described for the 45's and there were a lot of pebbles that scraped their way through. The clearance was tight and while I never had a problem while riding I often had to adjust the fenders after transporting the bike. Lar
