Hi all,
I've searched all over forum archives and can't seem to find much
discussion on this question: how does the Sam climb?
I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 52 (ideally I'd ride a 54,
and 56 is just a tad too big), my 26 yr old Trek 560 ready to retire,
and I'm used to a more
Here is one for the con side. I own and love my custom Rivs (I've
owned 3, still have 2) which climb superbly. I briefly owned a Sam

road use bike while the

these are supple sidewall-type tires.
Have fun!

I mean wandering in the bike sense, not the car sense. That is, when

regard without for all that being far worse on downhills.
Patrick no ball joints on my bikes
