Scrod,

Do you think that the the kevlar bead in the Pasela PT tire is worth the extra $12 vs. the wire bead. I've never used a kevlar tire and am just curious if the weight difference is noticeable at all? I would be throwing them on my Bareknuckle and since you have done the same your opinion would be appreciated.

Also while I'm here, off the top of your head do you know of any compact drops other than Soma Hwy One that fit 26.0??? I really want to try a pair but I'd rather spend my money on tires or handlebars over a new stem.
