I am curious, Grant: I ride scandalously narrow tires on my two small wheel
customs and yet I find that they are surprisingly plush over smaller bumps
(6" expansion cracks are another matter). 44 1/2 cm chainstays. Is it the
chainstays that makes such otherwise nasty tires tolerable? ("Nasty" is
self-defensive rhetoric; I like the way the new 650C X 23 Michelin Pro Race
3s climb. Must be the "Pro" and the "Race".)Other news: my erstwhile '73 Motobecane Grand Record frameset, now gone to a better owner, was noticeably lighter than the two Rivs. Yet it handled rear loads better. Also 44-45 cm chainstays. Why is this? Not complaining but I could carry 35 lb on the rear of the Motobecane without any real wagging, while the '03 Curt with that much is much more of a handful Noticed today that Jan says (or implies: I think I am paraphrasing correctly) that even OS tubed frames can "plane" if the dt is thicker than TT and ST. For what *that's* worth. On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 6:02 PM, Leslie <leslie.bri...@gmail.com> wrote: > AND, there ya go.... Straight from Grant....
