if your worried about snapping one, it may be an idea to get the older style 221ti frame. Im pretty sure the geo is the same on them, its just the kammel has a lower stand over. Mine rode really well, i miss it abit
ive used rubbers for a while. Like them alot, but changed to foams (trial tech) and hated them for like the first week. They where just too thick for me. Now i love them. Got a set for my new bike but dont know weather to use them, or try some roadie tape.
