Well, there are definitely a few variables in that equation...

Don't put too much faith in warranties. A "limited warranty" is written to
protect the issuer (company, dealer, etc) by limiting liability to certain
specific situations or issues. It is NOT intended to protect the customer
or consumer of the product, but rather to limit the extent of claims.
I didn't see the Dude, but I did see the Lone Wolf (sorry - I didn't get a
photo of the Lone Wolf. He got away from me too fast.)

Also, I think Grant gets credit for high drop bars. I saw a lot of those too.

With fully loaded touring the weight difference is insignificant. The wider
Nitto has advantages when mounting bags or strapping other supplies on the rear

The Tubus protects the rear light better, allows for lowe
