and before and after. I am sitting at a caff (as the Brits call them) in the middle of a 20 mile off road ride, of which, by the time I get home, some 12 to 14 miles will have been over sand, 1 to 3 inches deep. One experimental out-and-back of jeep track, 4 miles total, of which 3 at least were one to three inches deep in sand, I managed at 10 to 12 1/2 mph without having to stand and exerting myself no more, in this 64" gear, than I would climbing a steepish hill, seated, in the same gear. The big (29 1/2 inch diameter) and 65 mm wide (on the 44 mm rims; the tires measured only 55 on the earlier, 24 mm rims) tires definitely float over sand better than anhy 26" wheel, even with the same tire, and, I judge cautiously, they do better than the same tires at the same (20/30) pressures on the narrower rims. At these pressures the tires roll well on pavement, too. Now I need a better frame to go with the better wheels! -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM Professional Resumes.
