Rotate your tires, you should get less wear on the front than the rear and can possibly prolong the life of the tire. Good to do this semi regularly so you don't end up with one tire much more worn than the other -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

I use the bullmoose on the spectacularly long toptubed Clem. I would never have thought I could fit a 61cm top tube bike, being 5'8", but the bullmoose give the perfect upright yet semi aggressive stance, Good way to visualize the fit is the bullmoose puts your hands in line with the stem bolt

Hopefully not beating a dying horse here, but I am confused by how this topic is often discussed. With how BQ and Compass/Grand Bois talk about their tires it seems as though it's a binary opposition, right? Supple tires vs. non-supple tires, new tire technology vs. old tires, their tires vs.
