The gathering clouds on Friday were a portent that the ride scheduled for Sunday would not materialize. At least I managed to get in a few km’s after work. Those Rubber Queens are still feeling draggy…
D = 11.91 km (7.40-miles), Vavr = 18.5 km/h (11.5-mph), Vmax = 36.4 km/h (22.6-mph), T = 38-minutes
Give them some time. Of course they will never feel like the superlight and SKINNY tires you used to have on there.
You couldn’t have picked a bigger tire with those Conti Rubber Queens, they make my Panaracer Fire FR 2.4’s and WTB Timberwolf 2.5’s look anemic!
I swear, they must be pretty close to a 29er for real kine.
As summer tapers off and the damp season starts up again, I’m definitely switching out to my Panaracer Rampages, but I hear these RQ’s and the “Hot Chili” rubber compound supposedly shed mud really well.
