[RBW] Re: Pari-Moto Ride Report
I just fixed my first flat on the Pari motos, a small thorn pierced the tread. Overall, I love the way these tires ride.

I'd worry about the supple sidewalls rather than the tread. My plan is to use them for events or times when I want to maximize performance, and use Hetres everyday. All this being said, the old reliable CdlV is a great all-around tire, and it will fit the Riv 650B bikes and most conversions no problem. I wonder why Grand Bois backed off the 38mm Hetre. It would have sold well - long wear, very fast, comfortable ride, and the colors! Esteban San Diego, Calif.

I'd worry about the supple sidewalls rather than the tread. My plan is to use them for events or times when I want to maximize performance, and use Hetres everyday. Except that I really do not do events, this is my plan as well. For everyday and light touring use on my soon to be built Rando style bike, I am building wheels with a Royce rear hub, regular Son front matched with a set of 40h Mavic M-2 rims I got from Jan Heine. These rims will wear Hetres as long as the tires hold out. For sunny Sunday afternoon riding around town and on the local trails I have a set of 36h Rigida Sphinx rims on which I will mount the Pari- Motos. Currently, I am agonizing about which hubs to use for the Rims. I have a NOS Maxi-Car rear hub I could match with a SonDeluxe if I want to keep light options. Or, I could use a nice NOS set of Campy Nuovo Hubs currently displayed in my living room. Lately I wonder if it might not be fun to get matching set of Royce hubs. The Maxi-Car SonDeluxe seems most logical, as the bike will be wired with dynamo lights. It is just that I cannot think of why I would want the Pari-Motos on for night riding.

Do you plan to have two sets of wheels, or will you be removing and installing tires? I am currently in the midst of mystery rim-side flat tire hell, and I'm having trouble imagining swapping tires without actually being compelled to do so. My thinking as well. I probably would not have bought the Pari-Motos had I not always planned to have a second set or rims. Failed to count on the difficult hubs decision I would have to face ;) On Jun 10, 1:03 pm, Steve Palincsar palin...@his.com wrote: On Thu, 2010-06-10 at 08:54 -0700, Esteban wrote: I'd worry about the supple sidewalls rather than the tread.

Steve - did you recently build the wheel? Or were a spoke or two replaced? If either is correct and if there was lube used, that might be the issue. Might be some solvent didn't dry and attacked the tube. Jim Thill passed that wisdom on to me for the rear wheel I built for the Sam Hillborne. Let it air dry for two days before mounting a tire. Probably ain't it, but just a possibility.

I haven't taken things apart, but I would be very surprised to see anything. I suspect a batch of defective tubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I'm really sad my Pari Motos don't fit in my 650B conversion go-fast. They just whisper on the fork crown inner tabs, but it fit in back. So close. I'll only get to use them on the Bombadil, unless I get a fork or a fork mod.

I have ridden my pari motos on gravel paved roads. The pari motos are fast and handle well. I think they live up to the promotion.

No flats, very comfy, got approving comments from my skinnier tired companions. Just as fast as my times 5 years ago on a whippet thin frame with skimpy rubber. And lots more comfortable.
