[RBW] René Herse Steilacoom for... commuting?

[Wilson Wilson]

I use to commute from Waldorf, MD to Bethesda, MD four to five days in a row on 
Rat Trap Pass. The first version sans tube less. It really mattered what tire 
pressures were being ran to whether or not I would get punctures. Back then 
before improving sections crossing over Route 210 were splattered with turn 
asphalt and steel tire tread. Increased tread only gives you a much larger 
margin of reducing the punture right at the moment. When I used something like 
a Nobby Nic, I would still spend time removing embedded wire or glass shards.

I don't commute because I work at home, but I do use the RH extra light 559
X 28 Elk Pass on both my "gofast" and my "errand" Rivs; both see occasional
firm dirt, the last carries regular loads, some close to 40 lb in the rear.
Fewer problems than with 559 X 32 Paselas.

Back in the day I commuted across town and did my grocery shopping on 200
gram 559 X 22 mm Specialized Turbos (nice tires, if only they had been half
again as wide) and these did fine.

My ultra thin (450 grams) 700C X 60.5 mm Big Ones see regular dirt and
gravel -- they are on my "gravel bike."

I used compass 35mm road tires for daily commute of ~14 miles  one way of which 
about third was dirt levies. Worked fine.

[RBW] René Herse Steilacoom for... commuting?

[Tim Tetrault]

Hiya Group-

Does anyone happen to use the Herse (ex Compass) Steilacoom tires for 
commuting?

...or for that matter, any Herse tire for *everyday *urban (with some hard 
pack trail) commuting? I'm imagining the knobs give some protection from 
glass that the slicks would not afford. 

Or maybe I just need to relax and just get some Gravel Kings or Marathon 
Supremes and wait for that kind of tire experience once my kids are out of 
the house. : /

Thanks for your thoughts-
