After several weeks of riding my Habanero with Grand Bois, and the fixie with Ultremos, going back to my 1x9 with 35mm Marathons Pluses over the weekend was pure torture.<br /><br />In some sense you get a better workout though, since you /want/ to be riding fast even if your tires don't want to go fast.<br /><br />samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215727841155911987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-21431055763164847102015-03-23T07:09:51.770-07:002015-03-23T07:09:51.770-07:00Make that 28 mm Schwalbe One tires.Make that 28 mm Schwalbe One tires.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722786211652015559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-66152395119647227212015-03-23T06:47:07.701-07:002015-03-23T06:47:07.701-07:00Mounted the WH-9000 C24 wheels on the Neuvation bi...Mounted the WH-9000 C24 wheels on the Neuvation bike in Indy with 2mm Schwalbe One tires. I am replacing what is now the winter wheelset -- Ultegra 6600 with the 25mm Schwalbe Marathons with winter tread. <br /><br />Thus, shaving huge weight, adding a fair bit more air between myself and the ground, moving to new bearings and whatever performance benefits "carbon laminate" gives over alloy, and going with a low rolling resistance tire instead of the sandpaper I've been riding all winter. Also a new cassette for the new wheels.<br /><br />Lots of variables. Which one controls I have no idea. Riding that bike in this morning felt like taking off Carhartts and putting on a velvet leisure suit. If this is what the "buy the latest and greatest tech" crowd has been experiencing all this time, I'm soon to be a convert!Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07722786211652015559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4538361619679101786.post-74687209797189280302015-03-21T04:25:46.194-07:002015-03-21T04:25:46.194-07:00I wonder why the variation? And perhaps the more ...I wonder why the variation? And perhaps the more impressive is the RS81 weight. That's comparable to a Mavic Elite. Tempted to sell the Mavics (currently on the Gunnar) and to invest the dough in a pair of RS81s.<br /><br />I have had lightweight wheelsets before, but there is something special about picking up the front C24 wheel alone. Even shod it just feels featherweight.
