pyoungbl, I agree with you. I've ruined way to many rides chasing parts for people whose bikes were improperly prepared for group rides. Steel rims may bend, but can usually still be ridden to civilization. Aluminum cracks, and it is all over. Adventure tires are designed to go at insane speeds from Paris to Dakar. Those tires simply suck everywhere else. My experience has been hauling broken bikes and riders from remote places because adventure tires are really nothing more than heavy bodied road race tires for wet tracks with harder treads. They work Paris to Dakar, suck for everywhere else.
