Grizzly CSS rims snatching.....

Thanks Jim . . . .

You have confirmed what I suspected, and indeed, was hoping - what I didn't say in my post was that I had already fitted Paselas and hoped that was the right choice!!

I have been using Duremes on my Ripio - they have been excellent for mixed riding, but as I am doing some longer sponsored rides in late May, weight and speed will count for quite a bit, distances will be longer than I have been used to and a lot of the others will be on 'roadier' bikes.

First impressions of the Paselas is that they are quicker, livelier and seem faster than the Duremes - seem is perhaps the operative word, as these things are very subjective unless you test them properly, and the smaller tyres are almost bound to feel livelier!!  But I have only ridden very short distances after changing.

All in all, I reckon I have made the right choice as wrist comfort etc is important.

Hmmm, interesting post Peejay.
I'm also using Schwalbe Marathon Plus 1.50 on Ridgida Grizzly CSS rims, I'm currently running them on Andy Blances recommendations of 66 front, 73 rear, I may have to rethink these pressures in light of your experience.
It'll be interesting what feedback SJS and Ridgida/Rhyde give you, it looks like a manufacturing fault to me, hopefully an isolated one at that.
Good luck with your new wheel anyway,
Neil.
