Re: [RBW] Tire Recommendations

I am partial to gravelkings as well. They ride really well, seem to be fairly strong yet remain light, and look great doing all of that. On Thursday, August 10, 2023 at 10:23:12 AM UTC-4 frank.b...@gmail.com wrote: > While most of my bikes are currently running Rene Herse tires which I am >

Re: [RBW] Tire Recommendations

While most of my bikes are currently running Rene Herse tires which I am happy with and have yet to flat, I fully endorse Schwalbe marathons. Fixing flats is one of my least favorite activities and I have accepted the fact that I happily pay more for a tire that is puncture resistant. I ride

Re: [RBW] Tire Recommendations

Matthew, a couple of months ago I got a set of Schwalbe Marathon Efficiency tires for my Hunq. It's a new line, with new-fangled compounds, etc. The 55mm (ETRTO 55-622) fit great on my Hunq with fenders, with room to spare. I've

[RBW] Tire Recommendations

Hi everyone, I need a new set of durable-ish, puncture-resistant tires. Type of ride: Mostly long-distance rides on asphalt and concrete, and the occasional gravel or dirt path. Size: 700 x 50 Dealbreakers: I use tubes, and all-black sidewalls. No gumwalls or stripes! I’m curretly looking

Re: [RBW] Tire Recommendations for an All-Rounder

Forgot to say that I expect that the Nachez Pass is the better tire for an All Rounder, but a plug for the Elk Pass for simply dreamily smooth and fast rolling. Despite its gossamer weight and onion-skin casing, it actually works fine in firm gravel and thin sand; as well as the 559 X 32 mm Pasela

Re: [RBW] Tire Recommendations for an All-Rounder

The Rene Herse/Compass Elk Pass (labeled 32, 29 mm on 23 mm rims) or the Nachez Pass, labeled 47 mm but others say 41 mm on ordinary road-width rims. The EP comes only in the "extra light" design but I think you can get the NP in both regular and diet. God willing, I'll shortly be getting around

[RBW] Tire Recommendations for an All-Rounder

Greetings. I just purchased a 1999-ish All-Rounder frame and am currently pulling together the parts to build it up. I'd appreciate any recommendations on the type of tires I should consider; I'll be riding almost exclusively on pavement (maybe some off-road somewhere down the line), no heavy

Re: [RBW] Tire recommendations- 650b/50mm+

I’m running Panaracer Gravel Kings. Nice tires—they feel fast, they’re relatively flat-free, and they have just a hint of tread. Fine for dirt trails and packed gravel, but the biggest limiting factor off-road is my own lack of skills. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy

[RBW] Tire recommendations- 650b/50mm+

I know this has been covered, but maybe there are new options out there. What do people like for a tire with these characteristics -650b 2.0-2.35 size -All rounder (not totally slick, not totally knobby) -not super-duper thin (I ride on messed up streets) -also not slow feeling I currently have

This recent post by Jan may help answer your question: https://janheine.wordpress.com/2018/03/06/how-are-compass-tires-different-from-panaracers/ If you haven’t ridden Compass tires before, you owe it to yourself to experience them so you have a benchmark for what a premium, supple tire rides

[RBW] Tire recommendations for Frank Jones?

I recommend you buy the set of soma c line tires I have sitting unused. Or the schwalbe little big Ben's. The c lines are black/skin and listed as 700x38 and are in great shape. The lbbs have seen more use. If I keep them around I'd be tempted to buy a roadini or bmc road. Fair winds,
