Those look tremendous. I've got to go wear out some tires so I can make room for these.

I pulled the trigger on Gran Bois Hetre Extra Legers. Comfortable, fast rolling, light. They do hit that 650B 42 mm sweet spot. Today was the maiden voyage, and I was happy. We will see about puncture resistance and wear. Had they been available, I might have went for the Babyshoe Pass XLs. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jKXEtO0NQPs/UxPw8em3uaI/AE4/kPehHs9HuBg/s1600/IMG_0228.jpg Best regards, Tom On Sunday, March 2, 2014 6:37:19 AM UTC-8, jeffrey kane wrote: Cross-post from the 650b group : I've been nursing a pair of Pari Moto's since mid-summer and the weather has helped extend their life (read: much reduced riding around here since December) … but I've been telling myself to p/u a new set o' tires for the last month or so and had decided I go for those highly acclaimed Hetre EL's for a change.
