neither is flat protection. I hardly ever get flats, have never
destroyed a tire, and I habitually ride tires well beyond their

Pacenti has some potentally great 650B tires about to ship. Get your

Of course the venerable Hetres should be a fit as well.

Michael,
I have noticed that the silver shifters need more tightening on rear
derailleurs that have a higher spring tension.
My experience between DT and Bar end has been the opposite of
yours...I don't understand why. I end up tightening the DT silver
shifters during most rides.

trouble than its worth. It will need more adjustments and offer less

I'll say that my Hillborne, with 40 Maraton Supremes, rides like a tank.
A really expensive tank, with amazing suspension. The Deore XTs and Mavic
A719s and 36h lacing might have something to do with that, too.
I'm 200+ and typically ride with a timbuktu and a left pannier, lock/cables,
etc.

Hap,
Loaded touring bike: you're probably gonna want that triple AND a big
cassette in the rear - unless you don't mind resting or walking (Kent
