Neugierigen Gruss, tobi
In der Diskussion wurde öfters die Idee vertreten, dass nicht immer das leichteste und steifeste Laufrad das beste sei - wie deckt sich das mit euren Erfahrungen? Wie sieht euer ideales Laufrad aus?"So I got some light wheels and the craziest thing happened...
...I rode slower than before.
[...]
So the new wheels and tires without tubes dropped nearly 2 pounds off of the rotating weight of the bike. Sweet! I assumed I would go riding and find a quicker rolling bike that handled like the old one. That did not happen. What did happen was, I gained a snappier accelerating bike that would crest rises in the trail with much less power going into the pedals. Nice. What also happened was I turned a quarter horse into a nervous filly. I was heading down the same old trails at speed, and warning buzzers were going off in my head..."Danger Will Robinson!"...I was pinging around on the trail like a rubber ball, blowing my corners and scaring myself a bit. Wow..."
