Justin, Jan has the 'extra light' version of some of the Grnad Bois tires now.... http://www.compasscycle.com/tires_gb_x_leger.html Might be something to consider... I actually followed Toshi's lead, and have swapped my Rambouillet onto 650b Hetres: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/8351739256/ Has been good so far; only have gotten a few 20-miler rides in yet (my first wheelbuild, so I'm taking it a bit easy, keeping an eye on 'em until I'm comfortable on 'em). + + + Have to admit, I wish I could get my hands on a set of the BG RnR's to do a test-fit; I've got a sneakin' suspicion that they might do really well for another project, but would hate to buy a set to find that they wouldn't fit... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
