Huge difference with the extra leverage. In fact, too much for that bike's job, so I moved it to the Paratrooper, which is going to see me through some light trails for a bit. The narrower bars from that bike are now on the Dale, and I'm gonna give that a try as a casual group-ride mount.
Edit: I say casual, but the Dale's job is gonna be a bit more hard core. If I'm going to the city for a ride, and there's any danger (usually from newbie or distracted fellow cyclists) of damage, Dale's gonna get the job. While I think the Clyde wheelset is a bit heavy, it's just the thing to be sitting on when the riders ahead of you don't call out a pothole.
