Re: [RBW] Snoqualmie Pass substitute

2023-06-04 Thread Patrick Moore

Thanks for that; I found the listing and emailed Jeff.

Can anyone here compare the SSV SL and RHSP EL in terms of quality of
rolling "feel," ease and above all *security* of tubeless setup on tubeless
rims? How wide are they in real life? (And on what width of rim?)

Thanks.

Search back a couple of days. Jeff posted these Soma Supple Vitesse 48mm tires
here on RBW list.

BUT. I’m not good at gravel. I have no idea what the kids are doing these days.
I have questions, and you have answers.
1. Can I keep my VO wavy fenders on a gravel bike? Here’s what I have, and they
say up to 50 mm tire will fit:2. Slick or knobby? I can’t even get a straight
answer on this. Which is better? If it matters about the rider, this will be
for a rider with a healthy fear of crashing.
3. How wide? I have 42s on my bikes now and I don’t feel like they are wide
enough.
4. Tubeless or no? These wheels are tubeless-compatible but I put a tube in
them because I wasn’t riding enough to keep the sealant circulating. But that
can be changed right quick.
Here is my Clem in its current configuration, and yes, I know the Backabikes
gotta go.

Thanks for your help!Leah

[RBW] Snoqualmie Pass substitute

2023-06-04 Thread Patrick Moore

Segueing off Leah's thread: can anyone recommend a 44 to 48 mm tire as or
almost as light and supple as the RH Snoqualmie Pass Extralight? For the
1st Matthews, pavement, gravel, and sand. I don't need not stinking knobs,
but will be happy to entertain their suggestion if the tire is ditto as
above.

I'll be especially interested in any Schwalbe tires ditto as above since my
experience with 2 models of EL Schwalbes and 2 models of EL RHs leaves the
contest neck-and-neck, with Schwalbe perhaps having a slight edge.

Since the newly Hover-barred Monocog is now so much nicer to ride, I will
happily let it take the place of the #1 Monocog for sandier rides, thus for
the Monocog I can lose some sand float for the sake of more crisp pavement
cornering.

Thanks.
