Re: [RBW] Re: New SON 28 dynohub
I'm a bit confused... Is there any specific reason to choose the older version over the newer one for a Dyad 36 wheel for the Hunqapillar for all of its intended riding purposes?

Where I live there are no "fire roads" or "logging roads," but looking at pictures I get the impression that they are closer to what I know as "Jeep tracks" than roads. It seems to me four wheel drive vehicles are absolutely required, not only for traction but for their high ground clearance. You can drive an ordinary car on the gravel roads I'm talking about. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
