All: If anyone has any good to new Soma Supple Vitesse *SL* tires (360 gram model) in 622X48 mm to sell, I'm interested. Arthur and everyone else: How do the SSV *EXs* compare to the SSV *SLs*? I gather the the EXs have a slightly thicker tread are are about 50 grams heavier; do they roll as well

Somebody mentioned them earlier, I think Patrick -- the Soma Supple Vitesse EXs are awesome tires. I've ridden the 48s which Patrick has, I still ride the 700x x 38 and 42mmI'm pretty sensitive to suppleness and speed in tires, the Supple Vitesse's are *very nearly* the equal of the RH Barlo

There’s never enough tire nerding. I’m going to check out the Spec Pathfinder Pro that people are so fond of. I ended up retaping my wheels since I had a very slow leak with the Snoqualmie Pass rear. It seemed to hold for a few hours and then dipped to the 20s like usual. It’s not the worst thing

Thanks for all the thoughts. I'm definitely curious how things would be different tubeless, but am on Dyads, so not happening soon--unless someone has a tubeless wheelset they want to trade for Dyads . . . The update here is that I did get the Terra Speeds in 40mm. FWIW, a better comparison wou

I've been riding Snoqualnie Pass standard casings tubeless on my Homer with nary a flat until recently, and after the 3rd flat this summer I have retired them. They had a good life but now seem too worn to keep going reliably. The rear eventually stretches a couple mm's in width over time whic

No flats! I had two on one ride earlier in the week--that was the prompt for this thread. To be fair, my rear tire has lots of holes and cuts and has been through plenty, so I"m not shocked. FWIW, my favorite mud/dirt setup has been Hurricane Ridge front, Snoqualmie Pass rear--the only issue f

Haha...the unicorn tears is what really seals them up! I've typically used the Panaracer sealant but I'm going to Silca's sealant next time. I've had a lot of luck with it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe fro

They set up just fine but the rear will lose 10 psi over a few hours. Going to retape and see what happens. On Fri, Aug 18, 2023 at 9:43 AM Josh (BertoBerg) wrote: > Piaw- > > That's exactly where I got my Terra Speeds! $98/shipped. Obviously, RH is > a MUCH smaller company than Continental so

My experience with RH tires (tubeless) is that their dual-purpose tires are more durable than their all-road tires. I have always used the endurance casing versions and found that I constantly get punctures on their all-roads (most recently with the Naches Pass). On the other hand, their dual-purpo
