Wider Is Better.

Wider Is Better.

John Kodin has been a friend of mine for about 30 years.  He rides over 10,000 miles a year and knows his stuff.  Here’s an e-mail I just got from him.

“I thought it was interesting that on Sunday I did 2 hours on a bike with the wide rims. Then switched to my cross bike with the old R28SLX rims for the final hour. I did notice a big difference on how the bike handled around turns and accelerations. I kept looking down at my tires to see if I have a slow leak and and to see if my tire air pressure had dropped. Because the bike felt much softer and spongier just rolling along on the flat sections. So wider is better!”

On sale and for sale this weekend are all of my wider rim wheels.  The R28SWCX SRP $799 Sale $499.  TheR28 AW SRP $565 Sale $339.  The M28 AW SRP $465 Sale $279.
With all of my wheels you can add cassettes, chains, tires or tubes at extremely low prices.  Much lower than I could sell them for on their own.  MAP pricing (minimum advertised pricing) policies don’t apply when I bundle them up so you get the savings.

Even in Alaska there are a couple of months left before the snow flies so now is a good time to get the new wider wheels.

Thanks for reading - John Neugent
