[RBW] Re: rolly-Polly vs. Ruffy Tuffy
Go with the Ruffy Tuffy, I must be dead cause I can't tell the difference in the ride. Enjoy the ride Tom Dusky Huntington Woods MI On Sunday, March 18, 2012 7:30:56 PM UTC-4, SeanMac wrote: Hello all, I need to replace the front tire of my bike, a vintage Trek 520 touring bike. I've got a Rolly-Polly on the back which is in good shape. I need a new tire for the front. In my mind I have two options that would work, either a Rolly Polly (provides a match with the rear tire) or a Ruffy Tuffy (a near match with the rear). The bike will be on the road the majority of the time. However, I do anticipate riding on some local trails that are covered with stone dust (such as the Erie Canal Towpath Trail). From what I can gather, the Rolly Polly is going to be lighter and feel more lively than the Ruffy Tuffy (which I've read a number of people describe as feeling dead). However, given the fact that I will be riding this tire on the stone dust trails, might I be wise to go with the thicker heavier tire? Thanks for your thoughts.

I typically ride a RP front RT rear with good results. I can feel a difference especially front, less so rear where I tend to get more punctures. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

RTs are a step up from Armadillos, but not by much. Go w/ the RP IMHO. On 3/19/12, Mojo gjtra...@yahoo.com wrote: I typically ride a RP front RT rear with good results.
