And Richard also failed to note the race bike riding PBP speedsters also skirt the rules. Many have support staff at the various rest stops with food, water bottle changes, change of clothes, etc. Jan is promoting a vike for people who actually rando the ways the rules intend - unsupported. Everything you need for 1200k is on the bike at the start.
As for tires, Jan did not say large tires are faster. Rather he said on most road conditions well made tires wider than the average race clinchers have lower rolling resistance. And in fact, the width of race tires is increasing. Finally, on the linked comments section, Jan says he likes the Hilsen for what it is, but he does not think it would be the best choice of bikes to go out riding with a group of people with thin tube lbikes optimized for going fast. I doubt GP would argue the point. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
