Hi Matthew,
I'll take two of the marathon supreme tires.
I'm a local yokel so you don't have to ship.
Let me know how you'd like to meet.
Thanks

I will vote in on the orange, it is across from the lighter shades of
blue gray on the color wheel. Kind of like yellow going so well with
the darker blues. Also, I have a thing for orange stuff, but that is
a personal problem.
What tires and fenders are you running?

Hi Rob, thanks. In the color options I was definitely leaning more towards
the orange than the yellow. I have yet to see orange Ortliebs on the road.

Would it be good to have approximately the same wheel mass as your
700C friends. If you go lighter you would have less inertia and have
to spin more to keep up. Heavier and acceleration would be slower.
Long way of saying maybe you could have too light a wheelset???

The BQ article was well thought out and executed, and a good read. My
understanding of the test was that the bicycle geometry was a

I think tire circumference was part of the discussion as well, not
