All,
I don't see how a wire bead could affect performance beyond the slight
weight difference. It just so happens most supple sidewall, thin tread
tires are folding bead. At least I think so.

!), the plain Pasela's been just as flat
resistant as the Tourguard. I've gotten 1 flat about every 600 miles with
700x32s. There's also the new T-serv PT from Panaracer that saves some
weight (kevlar bead) and has a new flat protection layer.

Patrick,
Have you had a local shop confirm they're discontinued? I just googled
pasela 26x1.25 wire and saw lots of stock of the non-TGs, but maybe
that's the end of them. If so, the new PT models look promising.

but 240g sounds promising.

The Kojak sounds like a winner, though, and Schwalbes seem to be worth the
price.

in torrential downpours. In those I get soggy, but only below the knees.
The duxback seems great if a bit less packable than the nylon capes. I
carry my nylon cape from Sep-Jun.
It definitely makes rainy rides more fun!

4 struts included plus two large P-clamp to be used on the fork, if needed.

A friend carried some impressive loads on his 'beam, though the frame
eventually protested (Riv took care of him). It's just a strangely
versatile frame.

Hi Anne,
Also keep in mind that tires (it SEEMS like especially light, supple ones)
grow in width over the first couple hundred miles. Don't be surprised if
the GBs relax out to 32 or close after some riding.

I've used them, and like them quite a bit. My only complaint is that the
cable is secured via a grub/set-screw (rather than a conventional
bolt/washer).

I wish the bridges were a skosh higher so I could run fenders with big
tires, but given these bikes were a small run deal, I'd say Riv did pretty
well.

You should be fine. I used grub screws in the fender mounts to keep the
gunk out without cutting into my clearance.
How do like the MSOs? They've been on my radar for when my stash of Mythos
slicks runs dry. Having lived in Missoula, I'm partial to the name, too!
