Isn't that fast lively feeling pretty much gone on a loaded touring bike? I ride belted tires on all my bikes, Pasela Tourguards, Ruffy Tuffy or Jack brown Blue. I am a heavy rider anyways and I hate changing flats so I do not have a problem riding belted tires. Jack Brown Blue are the tires I am putting on all my bikes that can fit them. We have been using them on our tandem where the rider load alone is just over 400lbs and had good results. We even spent a week loaded touring on the tandem without a flat. Loaded touring requires different tools that light sport riding. My Atlantis is not as light and lively as my Rambouilet but I would not take the Rampouilet loaded touring.

Can't have it all, I guess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
