This is what I suggested he do for the Clem, which is similar to the
Bombora in terms of range-- a wheelset with some skinny 48mm Switchbacks
for the pack training ride, then pop on the set with 2.6" knobbies for
hitting the woods. Best to have rims with same width and brakes set up to
open
I fully understand the desire to consolidate, but there's a reason you have a
Redwood & a Clem in the first place & that reason is still valid. If you have
the space & you don't need the money then I would stand pat & possibly tweak
both bikes to further distinguish them from each other.
Seems
I’m a maximalist. My custom go-many-places road bike has 58mm G-Ones. However,
45mm tires work the same everywhere I ride. I ride with people on 48mm tires on
the same terrain, so it’s not just me. It’s like quartz vs marble countertops -
the quartz is supposedly more durable and stain
Maths may be tricky but "half the area difference" isn't an imaginary
number.

Hi, All,

47mm to 53-584 is about 1.27X by area, a little more than half the area
difference between a 23 and a 28-622 tire area.

Dear Steve,
47 to 55-584 is is about 1.37X by area and 1.38X by volume.
Compare to a 23mm to 28-622 tire 1.48X by area and 1.5X by volume. I
definitely notice the difference between a 23 and a 28, and between a 28
and a 32 (using the same tire casing and adjusting the tire pressure as
The Clem certainly is the most versatile and I'd be more inclined to load
up this one for camping trips vs the Redwood. I have 2.1" Thunderburts
right now which are a pretty sweet spot, but lots of options.

Those are some excellent examples there, Steve. Thanks for doing the work!
I'm trying to eliminate bikes too. I kind of am, but they seem to be
getting replaced with Rivendells. All of the Hillibike variety, which I
feel is hard to come by anywhere else. I like the utility and the fun of

That is some poor math there, Steve, and I don't see why you need to be so
argumentative. Comparing 23 and 28 is over 20% difference in width. The
difference from 47mm to 52mm is about a 10% difference in width, and both
are well into the "can handle any surface" size territory. "Whopping

The difference between 47 mm ( "47c" is fingernails screeching on a
blackboard) and 2.1" is a whopping 5.3mm. 5.3mm is more
