I had Thunder Burts on my Bombadil for the C&O group ride led by Pondero this week. They were GREAT on the towpath, and GREAT on the road on a couple of 5-10 mile off-Towpath sojourns. But I did flat once on the Towpath (the front, thankfully – the Rohloff rear isn't fun to change a tire on), so certainly not what you'd call bomb-proof.

And other fatties Agreed re: Thunder Burts. Amazing ride quality. Not the most durable for loaded gravel riding, but that's the trade off with light and supple. They fly on pavement. I'd love to try them tubeless for an even lighter setup one day. My 2.25 TB's on my Atlantis are substantially quicker than the 2.1" WTB Nano's I had before.

When the fenders came off and I went back to the BAs, they felt so 'clod-hoppy' that I splurged on the the 60-622 Super Moto (not 'X'). They feel so supple, sprightly, and fast compared to the BAs, that I've now vowed to strictly go Evolution line when wearing Schwalbe. Unfortunately, Schwalbe seems to have discontinued the Super Moto, to be replaced by the 'One'. We'll see how it compares... -Peter Oakland, CA On Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 11:44:07 AM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: Chris, the TB's are as close as I've found to 2.1" 700c Compass tires. I hear slightly more road noise compared with the QB's Barlow Pass on the same roads. They are surprisingly smooth -- much smoother and more supple than the Smart Sams. I second all of David's description of them as well. I have not once thought "this ride will have a lot of pavement, so though I'd rather have gears today I'm going to take the QB -- which I did think with the Smart Sams.

How do they do on the pavement, compared to other tires you ridden? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
