[RBW] Re: Tires, revisited.

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I've found the Maxxis Torch 29 to be a really nice tire.  It's close to the 
Big Apple in it's tread so I'm sure it has limitations in the dirt.

Yes indeed to Orange Seal. I've blathered about it enough, but it makes
possible the use of "fragile" tires that otherwise would be impossible due
to flats; be it put in tubes (at least, above 30-35 psi; it wouldn't work
for me in tubes at 20 or so) or of course tubeless.

Oh, and Patrick: what pressures do you find best for the Snoqualmie Passes
for your combination of pavement and rough stuff? (I find ~23/26 good for
the 50 mm F Freds here, but might go to 25-6/28-30 for rockier and rootier
terrain.

I would highly recommend getting removable core inner tubes and squirting 
in some orange seal. I've had zero flats on my RTP with this method, decent 
amount of mileage, all sorts of rough stuff. Maybe I would not have had a 
flat anyway, but worth a try if you are getting flats to see if it brings 
the number down.
