I had that same kind of moment when I first tried Hetres on my Sam. They transformed the bike that made me change my mind that tires didn't make huge differences.
After a hundred kilometers if I was lucky got a slash that cut right across the casing of the tire and the tire was useless. That day I went back to my Marathons because for commuting I don't want to be fixing flats in the cold and rain. The bike feels like a truck with those tires, but at least a nice truck. Thanks for the idea of using a second set of wheels with different tires. I have an identical set of wheels that I have been trying to selling in Toronto for over a year and nobody seems to want them. Now I am going to keep them and put Hetres back on. Since I am in Osaka right now, I will take a side trip to Kyoto to Grand Bois Cycles and pick up some new tires, including a spare. Glad you are liking your tire choices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
