Also, the LHT allows me to install a heavier duty intertube (slime extra thick 26" tube) and liners in my back wheel to prevent flats, which i have not experienced in about 2 years of commuting on the LHT.
That reminds me, my one concession on the tempo is I'm running 28's and that's the max for clearance.
