Patrick, I have been reading the Kojak thread and am resisting the urge to add another great tire to my pile. I will wear out the JBs before moving on. They give a nice ride for me. I love the feel of the Legolas for all but fast curvy paved descents. With trail in the low 60s, it is very stable and handles very well on all dirt. But descending on pavement feels a little precarious. It seems to not always want to go smoothly around the tightening turns that get me out of the Monument and other local mountain rides. I have found the Legolas handling is much more predictable if I keep a light flexed touch on the bars. My road custom is an '01 Curt, so we have twin sons from different litters. I keep looking for you when I am in ABQ but you seem to be ellusive. You will roll up on my one day I am sure.
