Soooo smooth man. The randos are a little boxy right from the get go, and the Ribmo is much rounder, if that makes since. There's less rolling resistance, but the sidewalls roll nearly all the way to the bead, so it skids real well if you're a whipper. I will say the compound is much softer than a Randonneur though, so it'll pick up little pieces of road debris.

The 28c barely fits my stays w a 44t; if I moved up on my chainring it wouldn't work. But this is on my Panasonic, so the stays are super narrow anyway. They make a 25c, but I like the 28 bc my streets blow and it offers alot of additional cushioning. Overall, I'd say it's much more "robust" than the Randonneur; we'll see how long it lasts. I'm using a foldable for weight savings.
