Re: [RBW] Re: Quickbeam Green Roadeo - pictures
I have both and, at this point, like the Challenge tires better - but I have yet to try them both on the same bike. Bill Louisville In a message dated 1/25/2010 10:37:44 P.M.

I almost got those same Challenge tires (and may still) but I'm so enamored with the GB 'Cypres' tires on my 650B AHH that I got the 700Cx30 for my Roadeo. Are they as nice as the BQ reviews say they are? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Quickbeam Green Roadeo - pictures
Yea, it's cheaper, easier to clean, more shock absorbing, and, in my opinion, looks better. What's not to like? Next time, I'll have to try the VO stuff.

And for $12, a better all-around choice than leather bartape (which I have gone with on past builds). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Adam, Nice bike, what brand of headset did you go with? Cant tell by the pix.

They feel great - the whole bike does. I had this fear throughout the assembly that the bike wouldn't fit - Rivendell had me going with a 57 based on their measurement system, but I instead went with a 59 (closer to what I am used to riding - I'm 6 '2 - and it seems perfect.

Mine measure 28 and they are wonderful. Bill In a message dated 1/24/2010 1:10:45 P.M.
