Oh, I can feel the difference all right. I just don't like fixing flats. On a short ride, the time fixing the flat is just made up by the greater speed with more supple tires. But at least your hands don't get all dirty and greasy when you ride Marathons. :-) Anyhow, I'm mostly a very slow unloaded tourist these days, so Schwalbes are my tires. But when I get on the single-speed with its Grand Bois (silly name?) tires, it makes me feel faster than I really am. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
