Forget one bike to another, I switched from heavy touring rim wheels with 28's to lighter Ksyrium Elites with 23s and I just about had a panic attack on my first fast descent. I felt like the I was going to lose control around every corner. It took me almost a month to get over that. Now of course, damn the torpedoes!

I recommend the route from Griffith Park to the Rose Bowl ME referred to. I only did I minor amount of cursing, and the views are awesome.

See ya on the road!
