I've been running Jack Brown Greens since they came out on my Hilsen and Quickbeam.
The 33 1/3 size has been great - keeps me alert on the trails and happy on smooth stuff. I don't feel the need to go to a larger volume tire, but have the frame clearance to add a bit if that's necessary. JB (Greens) have been non-existent on the Rivbike site for a while, and I finally ground my last one down to the threads. My Hilsen is shoeless until I deal with this... So, I've been looking at the Soma Shikoro, which sound very JB-ish. However, the text says they run a bit narrow than stated, so I'm considering going from 33 to the 38 to have the JB cushiness. https://www.rivbike.com/products/soma-shikoro-tires then I just noticed the Hutchinson Caracals - https://www.rivbike.com/products/hutchinson-caracal-tires-700c which may be closer to what I'm used to, size-wise. Reckon I'd get the 35's. And any tire that Mark uses is a major plus in my book... While I don't feel I need the knobs, they do remind me of some of the CX tires I used to run. (I'm around 185#'s and ride fairly light on most days). To be used on Bay Area roads, trails, singletrack, and fire roads. Has anyone used these and feel like sharing their experiences?
