Johnny Lawless Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Spank Spoon, 785mm, 40mm rise. Why so narrow? :D Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Why so narrow? :D hahahahaha TBH I haven't found my sweet spot yet. Reign's bar is 780. This is 785. But main reason I got it is the rise. Plus - green. Edited July 7, 2017 by Myles Mayhew Johnny Lawless 1

Johnny Lawless Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 yeah, and the 2.5WT is the same width as a standard schwalbe 2.35... so it's really difficult to say which tyres work better on which rims. Plus - marketing. Anyway - real world experience - Hans Dampfs work FAR better on 35mm rims than on 25's. As in FAR Better. They're pretty round to begin with, so the squaring off seems to aid their grip characteristics. Insofar as my Magic Mary and Spaz Slaughter go, they're really not that much mroe square than on the 24mm internal rims that my 35's replaced. But I can run them WAY lower, and they have oodles more grip and lateral integrity. Enduro pros mostly in the 25-32mm range. They Richie Rude on 30's, Cody Kelly on 25's. "Anyway - real world experience - Hans Dampfs work FAR better on 35mm rims than on 25's.

Kinda feels like you are just watching the same slomo shot over and over again for 9mins haha. But I guess that's the nature of road cycling. Looks like it'll be an awesome trip though, enjoy!
