Re: [RBW] jack brown's
I used JB Greens for about six months and they are good tires, but for my money I'd choose a Kojak (330 grams with kevlar belt and beads, $60) at a close to true 35. Or, I'd go to the other extreme and look closely at one of the Grand Bois tires. For errands and commuting the Kojaks roll very well and seem far more flat free than the Paselas I've used and than the JG G's. Note: the K's are not like a top of line racing tire, but they are as close as you can get with a puncture belt.

Re: [RBW] jack brown's
Actually, the Maxy Fasty and Nifty Swifty were the original tire to use this combination of width and tread pattern (same tread as the Rolly Polly/Ruffy Tuffy, but wider) , dating back to when first rolled out their 650b tire line (2006?). They rode so nice, Riv thought, Hey, we should make these in 700c and thus was born the Jack Brown Green/Blue.
