Anyone tried mounting these on a Rambouillet? Would they fit? rod -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

The green Thin Gripsters are, uh, dope. -Original Message- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Philip Williamson Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2013 1:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBW] Soma C line: first ride & impressions I got my C-Lines this morning from Ocean Air as well.

I have about 200 miles on my B-lines and they are indeed sweet rolling and smth. Gonna have to get the Black Mountain built up so I have a reason for some C- lines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Soma C line: first ride & impressions
Great to hear! I'm happy with my nomad's right now but as they near replacement I'd definitely look at the soma's... It'll be good to hear some comparisons of those two as they both get ridden more.

Those are 100% on my radar, just waiting to wear down some tires in current rotation. Expecting good things! Cheers, David "it isn't a contest.

[RBW] Soma C line: first ride & impressions
Today's mail brought good news in the form of a pair of the new Soma C line 700 x 38c tires (http://store.oceanaircycles.com/products/soma-c-line-tire-700c-x-38mm) from Ocean Air Cycles. I had ordered these on the pre-sale a few weeks ago & have been looking forward to trying them out. These will replace my trusty Schwalbes for everyday use, although I'll likely revert for loaded tours. First, they mounted easily without tools or talc on the Mavic A-719 rims on my Atlantis, and were straight & true. At 60 psi, they measure 37 mm actual width, immediately after mounting, so I expect them to grow to their spec'd 38 mm with some time at pressure. Nothing left to do except wheel out the door & give 'em a try. What a difference in ride quality from what I've grown accustomed to! These really are nice riding tires. A short spin of about 20 miles is all I had time for but plenty of railroad tracks & crappy pavement showed them to be quite comfortable. The lighter weight (claimed 400 grams) means they accelerate away from stops & climb hills noticeably better. Just all around a more fun ride! The big test will be flat resistance and my lack of patience in dealing with that issue. OTH, that could be a character building experience :-). dougP -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
