They felt lighter on the road than the Scorchers, even though they are actually 10 grams heavier! For a fair comparison, I'm going to mount the 1.50 Comets on my Swift and go for the same 10-mile ride.
James, does your Dahon still have a hub gear rear wheel or did you change it out to single speed like your Swift?
