I would be very interested in learning more about how position, rider size and weight, tire width and pressure, and for that matter pedaling style affect handling for a given geometry. My wandering problem on the Sam was with heavy rear load and nothing in front; and my favored position is rearward biased.
Interesting ... One of the best rear load bikes I had was that Motobecane with very light 531 tubing and long stays -- better than other bikes with equally long stays and stouter tubing. It's all very odd. This even pushing the limit for the Tubus Fly rack.

Our position on the bike, pedaling style, tires & pressure, etc., must have a significant influence. Generally even a lightweight rider outweighs the bike, even loaded for a camping tour. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
