Are yours also the 700c size? Looking for some 26ers.
Thanks,

If one wants to buy such small patches in bulk, where can he find
them? I've got plenty of patches but they are all nickel sized or
better and the dimers would work better on skinny and very light
tubes.

I really like the JB Green tires for the snappy/cushy/grippy ride quality,
and have been enjoying them for awhile on my non-Rivendell sport-touring
bicycle. Last week, I did a partial tour (moderately loaded - front Ortlieb

I like the Marathon Racers quite a bit in terms of lively ride quality, with
the tougher Marathon Supremes being only a little bit less lively. I tried
the JB Blues on 3 bikes (Atlantis, Romulus, and Santana tandem), and never
cared for them. JB Greens are among my favorite tires, but delicate.
SOLD. Thank you all for your inquiries.

As a point of contrast, I had mentioned my good luck with the JB green on a short tour, but I forgot to mention one other fact. My JB's were new out of the bag, and that ride was the first time they were used.

I've had a rough few months with flats from goatheads, after no flats
for over a year. They squeak in though the sidewall of the Supremes.
I just put on a pair of Foss, rim liners and all, not for flat
protection, but ease of patching. I retired several well patched
tubes and carry no spare. I
