Hi Marc, What tire pressure are you using to get the "speed and cushy feel"? Actually that might depend of 'the weight of bike and rider, so maybe I should not ask it in that manner. I understand from Bicycle Quarterly that achieving a 15% drop when mounted is ideal. Never figured out how to measure that, though. Kinda hard to measure the height of your bike when you are in a full stationary track stand.
I looked at Grand Bois Extra Leger 42mm 650b, but those are even lighter than the standard Hetres. I would fear undue sidewall damage. I might try the Soma.
