I used JB Greens for about six months and they are good tires, but for my money I'd choose a Kojak (330 grams with kevlar belt and beads, $60) at a close to true 35. Or, I'd go to the other extreme and look closely at one of the Grand Bois tires. For errands and commuting the Kojaks roll very well

Was wondering do they come in 650b? I looked at Riv's 650b tire page and no JB's? Looked on web nope none. I'm a newbie on 650b's. On Sunday, January 27, 2013 9:08:12 PM UTC-8, stonehog wrote: I love 'em. They offer a nice advantage in that you can get a Blue to protect your back wheel

I was curious about the 650b thing as well.. are the Maxy Fasty's comparable to the JB's? On Monday, January 28, 2013 12:10:29 PM UTC-6, hsmitham wrote: Was wondering do they come in 650b? I looked at Riv's 650b tire page and no JB's? Looked on web nope none. I'm a newbie on 650b's. On

Actually, the Maxy Fasty and Nifty Swifty were the original tire to use this combination of width and tread pattern (same tread as the Rolly Polly/Ruffy Tuffy, but wider) , dating back to when first rolled out their 650b tire line (2006?). They rode so nice, Riv thought, Hey, we should make

Any out there with opinions on the Browns? Either green or blue? I currently ride Panaracer Pasella 35C's and like them very much, but I don't have all that many miles left on them, and since Riv is running a 10% discount until Feb. on the Browns, thought i might give them a try. I ride

I love 'em. They offer a nice advantage in that you can get a Blue to protect your back wheel (where I get most flats), and put a nice light Green on the front. Good timing as I just did a short write up on these tires:
