[RBW] Re: 650B Ourson closeouts
My Oursons came in today. They look just great. I like the Panaracer packaging (heat sealed plastic bag). Minimalist, yet keeps them clean, and I imagine keeps them protected from aging somewhat. Now the question is whether to start riding them right away or keep them packaged up for later? These Oursons could be a good mixed terrain tire, but my East Bay trails get so muddy that I can't really do that type of ride nearby until summer.

Re: [RBW] Re: 650B Ourson closeouts
My Oursons have 1,300 mi (on a Saluki) on them and show very little wear, if any. At 65 PSI, they are a reasonably fast road tire that still has a forgiving nature over chipseal. At 50 PSI they are a very comfortable multi-surface tire. --- On Mon, 11/29/10, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: From: William tapebu...@gmail.com Subject: [RBW] Re: 650B Ourson closeouts To: RBW Owners Bunch rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Date: Monday, November 29, 2010, 12:37 PM My Oursons came in today.

[RBW] Re: 650B Ourson closeouts
I just ordered a pair. I remember various mountain bike buddies that would try a dozen or more different tires on their mountain bikes and just stack them up in their garage in a floppy pile. How many 650B tires will be too many? We've got 3 bikes. We have 6 different pairs of tires for those 3 bikes at the moment. These Oursons will make 7. I can very easily envision three more pairs of tires. On Nov 22, 1:07 pm, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: The Lierre that is replacing the Ourson looks pretty great, too.
