I was sorry to hear about your issues with the Kenda K161 cross tire, I have good experiences with Kenda but I wouldn't be pleased either if they game me a bad ride. I built up and sold an old Tiger 10 speed around the K161 cross tires as a winter commuter about 7 years ago and really liked the look of the tires. I am using the standard 27 x 1/3/8 road Kenda (K40) on the 1986 Schwinn Passage I just reburbished and love their plush ride compared to the standard 27 x 1 1/4 Specialized tri cross tires it came with which felt both narrow and heavy. Amazing how tires can affect the ride for both good and bad.RoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644962941958841994.post-76477075677684611742017-05-07T15:50:16.364-07:002017-05-07T15:50:16.364-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.RoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.com
