Anyone fitted-and-ridden the Panaracer RiBMo in 700x32C on a 1985 Trek 600?
I fit and rode the Ribmo in 700x32 on a 1985 Trek 760. Is that close enough?
The frame had very tight criterium geometry so I could only fit the 32mm Ribmo on the rear. The Ribmo front tire rubbed on the crown a bit so I used a 28mm Tserv. After my rear tire has worn down a couple mm's I'm planning on swaping it to the front.
Myself and my trailer's contribution weighed about #225 and I ran the rear Ribmo at 100psi during my tour. The tire felt fast and stable with this loading. Not too loaded down at all. My 28mm Conti Contacts were really only 25mm so if the same holds true for your GP 4s, IMHO you could see more pinch flat resistance with the Ribmos.
