[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

I'm on the other end of the problem. Where are the 650b plus size road tires? There are plenty of knobby offerings in the 2" - 2.35" size but nothing like the big apple isn't one and neither are the supremes. Anyone have suggestions? I ride paved trails. -- You received this message because

Re: [RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Schwalbe has greatly expanded their 650b offerings. 50 mm 650b Big Ben for $60/pair shipped to the US , wire bead, 745g 50 mm 650b Marathon Supreme for $95/pair shipped to the US

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Schwalbe has a 60 mm wide 650B tire coming out called the Big one. Shallow micro knobs so it should do fine on pavement and gravel. The Vee Rubber Speedster is a 650B x 1.95 tire that is another smoother conditions tire They measure about 47 mm on a Dyad. ~mike Carlsbad Ca On Saturday,

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

I really do like the Surlys. They may not be as sexy, and they might be a tad bit slower, but they're good enough and the price is right. A big step up from the Fatty Rumpkins IMO. I keep bugging Panaracer people about a 650b version of the new Gravel King (the real ones, not the Pacenti ones)

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Hi Hugn, nope not running the Cazaderos. Nothing against them one bit, just looking to see how broad the selection is out there, see if I'm overlooking anything... and if the selection really is only the Caz and the R, well, then, that's wayyy fewer options than I'd hoped. Thanks. On

Re: [RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

David, I think Jeffery nailed it. For my Hilsen the Cazadero's are pretty much it. I think the R's are a mm too large. Waiting on a set of Cazadero's to mount soon. I wish there were more options but as Jeffery said above the 27+ has taken over, were in a pocket universe for cross type tires in

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Search away .. but none you will find. I wish someone would prove me wrong, though. For a minute I really thought that would be the next direction in 650b tires: WTB's, Challenge, etc. .. but it looks like the Plus (+) craze has shifted the market away. First came the 29's, then 27.5's and

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Not sure if it falls under "knobby/cross" but the lowly Panaracer Col de la Vie does have more of a micro knob tread, not too unlike some of the file tread tires that have come out. About 35mm actual or slightly wider depending on rim. I used them when I first did a 650b conversions, did some

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Schwalbe has a low profile 40mm 650B knobby tire coming out this winter called the G-one http://www.schwalbe.com/en/road-reader/schwalbe-g-one.html Looks like a good mixed terrain tire to me. And fairly light too unlike the Big Ben bricks. ~mike Carlsbad Ca

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

used to run r n r's 650b. They were really great tires. I had to modify my fender set up to get them to fit, but ultimately wanted something more volume. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

I assume you say Under 42mm because you've already ruled out the Rock and Road? I don't know of a narrower 650B knobby. On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 2:53:42 PM UTC-7, David wrote: > > Wondering if the group has an opinion or preference on a 650B knobby tire > under 42mm and other than

Yes, ruling out the R for now. Thanks. On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 2:59:06 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I assume you say Under 42mm because you've already ruled out the Rock and > Road? I don't know of a narrower 650B knobby. > > On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 2:53:42 PM UTC-7,

Re: [RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Count me as interested. My Riv fits a 650x38, and I'd love a supple tire with file or light knobby tread. I'm really enjoying the 700x38 Bontrager CX0 tires on my new plastic bike. Tim > On Oct 21, 2015, at 4:59 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I assume you say Under 42mm

[RBW] Re: Cross/knobby 650B tires

Shortly after building up my Hillborne, I picked up the Surly Knard (41mm) for a great deal, and it's been pretty good for me. Not as quick on pavement as I'd like, but it could be worse. On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 3:53:42 PM UTC-6, David wrote: > > Wondering if the group has an opinion

David, Are you already running the Cazadero's? If yes what's your opinion of them and if your not running them, what would you have against them? Inquiring minds and such. ~Hugn n Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 2:53:42 PM UTC-7, David wrote: > Wondering if the group has an opinion or
