Regarding fat tires: I'm going to put 35s on the new Ram (bro brought
wheelset -- last item!) and I use fat ones on the Fargo and 1.35s on the
commuter Riv fixie, but I've been climbing a steep, 1 mile hill on various
bikes and I have to say that the 17.5 lb 75" gofast, with sub 200 gram 22
mm 650C ("see") skinnies, climbs that hill and all others better than any
other bike I own or have owned, and this consistently over 10 years or more.I won't be giving up the lightweight, skinny wheelset. Fatter tires on all other bikes, but not on this one: well, I will probably replace the 23s -- Michelin Pro Race 3s -- with 25s, but not any fatter or heavier, until someone can tell me what makes this bike climb so well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
