Earle- I'll second that. One of my still remembered riding "moments" was crossing a steel deck bridge (that I routinely crossed on my commute to work) on my fairly new Raleigh Nylon tubies ( 270gm ). There was a light rain in the morning and I had a rather elastic moment riding over the bridge. After 30+ years it still is in my mind. I didn't use them much longer.
