I'm glad to hear it Alexander. I'm pretty set on getting a 36mm pair for my Heron touring bike, which is kinda the max clearance I think to get in there and keep my fenders. Did your 27s and or 40s measure fairly true to size? The other tires I've been leaning towards are the 38mm SOMA Shikoro's and or Supple Vitesse. I guess all this to say, 700x~35 feels good for a road and road-ish rubber radius.
