26 x 1.5 Continental slicks, which look comically skinny on this bike. I was curious if my tires were a contributor to the momentum effect, so it's interesting to hear that you're experiencing the same thing with appropriately fat tires.
To expound a little more on the ride, the feeling is like a slight tailwind: When it gets wound up to a cruising speed, it feels like it doesn't take excess pedal-pressure to maintain that speed. Incidentally, this is opposite of the old 26-inch-wheel Bstone XOs I've owned. They spun up fast, then kind of hit a wall. It took consistent effort to keep speed up, and any backing off would have an immediate slowing effect. I don't know what makes the difference between these bikes - maybe 25 years of learning and designing - but the CLEM is a fabulous bicycle. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
