The only true 28 mm road tire? How so? There aregood 28's out there in a wide variety of flavors. Grand Bois, Vittoria, Panaracer, Schwalbe, and Continental all make 28's, ranging from 220 gm to over 700. I think there are good, often better subs for both the RP and RT out there. I can see why Grant would concede that size to bigger players, and concentrate on where he perceives the unfilled needs to be.
My short list of subs for the Roly Poly: Vittoria Rubino Pro (I own these and like them) Conti GP 4-season Grand Bois Cerf (a little lighter) Schwalbe Durano Schwalbe Ultremo (really light) Panaracer Pasela non-TG For the RT: Pasela TG Conti Gartorskin Vittoria Randonneur (a little beefier) Bill On Jan 14, 9:48 am, pruckelshaus <[email protected]> wrote: > I actually came here to post a lament about the loss of what is > probably the only "true" 700x28mm road tire out there.
