I don't have a Quickbeam, but I do have a Rosco built abound a Qiuckbeam/SO fork. I'll second Rich's recondition for the Continental SpeedRide. The 42-622 fits under fenders and is great for most any surface. They're easy on the wallet too. -- You received this message because you are

Shikoro's right now in Brooklyn/NYC, 42mm and I just clip on a fender when needed. Not beautiful. But comfy and confidence-inspiring. I usually rode with Nanos back when the QB saw a lot of dirt in and around LA. (Cazadores just barely fit the chainstays, but limited my gearing options)

I'm on my second pair of Little Big Ben's from Riv. Wear well, rarely get flats, good grip in the rain and have the reflective side wall. Supple they are not, so I tend to pump them up to 60psi to compensate. I use my QB as my commuter in and out of Baltimore, there's a lot of broken glass on

Compass Barlow Pass (38's) under SKS fenders on an older Quickbeam.. plenty of room and really made commuting on that bike super enjoyable. the only issue I ever had with the Barlow Pass extra lights was getting a piece of glass embedded in the tire once and it caused a cut in the tread, but I

Thanks guys. I definitely need to run fenders much of the year in PDX and I have. A set of SKS p50s that will do the trick with 38mm tires. I’m intrigued by the Gravel Kings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

I have 38mm Voyageur Hypers on two sets of wheels on my Quickbeam, and I like them. I like my Compass and RocknRoads better on other bikes (the RnRs do squeak through the QB chainstays), but the Voyageurs seem fine for commuting. 38mm tires seem like the sweet spot with fenders. You might try
