RE: [RBW] New tires at RBW
Well, that follows--Grant's stated that in support of the wheelsize he'll carry every 650b tire he can (that will fit Riv products presumably, since he does not carry the really fat knobbies). I have nearly 200 miles on a set of the PariMotos on my Saluki and they're pretty nice. Fast and supple, and so far no punctures (knock wood) They ride smoother at similar pressure than CLDV's but a tick less so than Trimlines. I've been abusing them as a test prior to commiting them to a multiday tour on mixed dirt and pavement of varying quality. I've ridden them on a lot of pavement, and quite a bit of dirt. Even (accidently) rode through a glitter of broken glass without trouble aside from the enamal I ground off my teeth waiting for the tire to hiss. Posted a few shots of them in action to my Flick'r--they work pretty well on singletrack! Fast and decent grip (for what they are) on hardpack, a bit slithery in sand. Note that going through a thin layer of sand over hardpack they make a sound very much like a tire hissing flat which was alarming! http://www.flickr.com/photos/40738...@n08/4653762582/ Steve -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com]on Behalf Of J L Sent: Monday, May 31, 2010 3:31 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: [RBW] New tires at RBW When I was over at RBW headquarters this weekend I noticed a pair of Pacenti Pari-Moto 650b tires on a smaller sized Hilbourne.

Re: [RBW] New tires at RBW
Is this the tire to go for? I have to select a good all purpose tire for my daughter's Betty. Would appreciate some suggestions.

Depends on what all the purposes your all purpose tire might be. The Pari Moto is light and it's fast. We have no idea at present how much wear they'll provide long term, but it's likely that if you're going to spend a lot of time riding through fields of broken glass and sharp metal shards this isn't the tire for you, and it's also likely that they won't last as long as a tire with a substantially thicker tread. They are very fast and feel great. No hint of sluggishness here! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
