Re: [RBW] Tires for AHH?
Congratulations on your AHH. I don't have that model (yet) but I've seen pictures of some spectacular ones. Please make sure you send pictures when you get it. Some folks even photograph the box as it's being delivered, the unboxing, the build process, and so forth ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/sets/72157631702162963/). We do like to see how well they were packed (superbly if you got it new from RBW). And yes, it's totally normal not to sleep, to look through windows to see if the delivery guy is there yet, to lose focus on other things, so on and so forth. I've gone through this twice (Quickbeam, Hunqapillar) so take it from me, your reaction is normal. :-) Eagerly awaiting pictures, Bob On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 7:58 AM, Curtis cmcken...@guhsd.net wrote: Hi, Have been reading the post year for about a month.

Re: [RBW] Tires for AHH?
Not sleeping well is definitely a sign that you did the right thing ordering an AHH! I just swapped the 35mm Marathon Supremes I had on my AHH for a pair of 30 (32 according to Jan) Gran Bois Extra Leger tires and I have to say that the change completely revamped the feel of the bike. Since I'm heavy I have to pump them hard (75F/90R) even though the online calculator would have me go even higher. The ride, however, is superb if a bit harsher than my bikes that have 40 and 50mm tires inflated to lower pressures. It also rides very well on dirt roads. I'm going to be doing a side by side comparison with the 35 Supremes and perhaps some other highly recommended similar width tire since I have almost identical wheelsets (only the hubs are different) to try to understand how real-to-me the differences are. I'm running Honjo fenders on that bike. Not sure how this applies to your actual road conditions, but I'm sure you're going to be getting many suggestions from the list. If Rock'n'Road tires fit the AHH, I'd make sure to give them a try. I have a pair yet to be mounted, but was thinking I'd use them on my Atlantis that can take wider tires than the AHH.
