I rode my Bike Friday NWT on a tour this fall...my buddy rode his LHT and I was thinking of taking my LHT, but I really enjoy the NWT and mine is setup for night riding which was how we started the tour. Little did I know the route was not paved and it was going to rain the whole time - yikes!
My 20" slick tired wheels did great. Although I love my LHT it's a hard choice to decide what to ride even on rides like this where I have no plans to fold my bike for shipping.
