One other remark about tire suppleness. I briefly ran Kojaks tubeless and with sealant and found them noticeably faster and smoother in feel than with tubes, so much so that I planned to use them instead of Elk Passes on the '03, because of the greater width for dirt riding. (These Kojaks were Kevlar beaded, and mounted on tubeless ready Sun/Ringle EQ21 rims, but even with these rims, the contact between bead and rim wall remained too iffy for practical ongoing use.)
Point being: if you are able to run tires tubeless, that apparently will make them better, all else equal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
