I just bought a 26" Nimbus (disc brake) Oracle. UDC’s new Aluminum frame weighs less than my cranks (165/137 Moments) but it comes with the 3" Duro tire. I probably switched it for a Maxxis 2.5" 3C HighRoller too early (after two MUni outings). Depending on the # of “roots” in your trail, the ability to run at extremely low (10-12 psi) pressures due to thick sidewalls is awesome. I saved a ton of weight (even more with a 1.2mm Freeride tube) so I can hop a little higher but I do miss the roll-over-ability of the Duro.
If your still in Atlanta, you’ve got miles of paved/sealed b*ke “trails” in the Silver Comet and Chief Ladiga at your disposal. I have mates down there and am planning to ride the whole enchilada on my KH/Schlumpf (geared) 36er. Any tips on lodging/dining along the route?
