Re: [RBW] Re: Handling (pavement cornering) of Schwalbe G One Speed 622X60 vs RH Antelope Hill (el) vs Schwalbe Big One (el)

2024-02-22 Thread Patrick Moore 
The Big Ones have been out of production for a while; the 700C X 60
extralight G One is the replacement (it's not as light as the Big One).

I know the Big Ones but not the G Ones or the Antelope Hill; would be
interesting to hear others' reports of these last 2.

2024-02-22 Thread Patrick Moore 
Good to know about the stability of the GOs. The "Race-something" model has
a good rating for speed/rolling resistance; might consider the 622X60s
instead of the Antelope Pass.

I bought four Big Ones at $19 a piece, Patrick bought the rest. They’re 
very thin. The new tubeless ready G ones are way more stable at lower 
pressures, and still relatively inexpensive . No bigger than 55 for me

Patrick,

As far as I can tell, you are the world expert on the Big One.  I've never 
heard of anyone else riding them, and before you talked about them, I 
didn't know they existed.  I'd be interested to see who else is in the Big 
One support group.
