I would second this. I commuted for many years on Pasella's and found them
a decent and durable tire. Now that I'm retired I have recently purchased
a pair of JBs, green blue. They definitely offer a better ride, and so
far have proven pretty durable while riding a lot of dirt roads.
I use Paselas where durability is needed, i.e., winter bike, some touring,
but they ride like a log wagon! I like the JB's a little less than max
psi. They hit a nice sweet spot.

Yes I do run high pressure.
That said, the GB C's are very supple, just not as durable. I can live with
that.
On a lot of bikes I run Open Corsa's at max to avoid pinch flats and, at
25c even, have yet to find a better tire. 1800-2000 miles about does it
though. I can live with less if that

I'd suggest before giving up on Paselas because of a harsh ride, you try
them at lower pressure, especially if we're talking about 32mm Paselas
(since JBs are 33 mm, it wouldn't be a good comparison to match
Not giving up at all just using different rubber on different bikes.

Bleriot Love - I totally agree!Not only did I use two locks on my bike at my office building parking gargage bike rack, but I continue to use two locks when I park around my urban home location. But - when in the countryside, on a ride with a group, we never lock our bikes outside gas stations,

It works very well for me.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
It think I should give the Jack Browns a shot.
It is interesting to hear how everyone's riding style and use effects
tire choice so much.
I tend to notice the acceleration and climbing effects more than I
notice the impact on overall handling.

These threads remind me just how many really delicious looking fat 700c
tires there are these days. My new road bike came with some Clement model
that I'd never heard of before. Strada LLG. They are a true 27 on Open

I've been riding the Clement Strada in both 25 and 28. And I like 'em in
both sizes. No flats yet in either. But the rubber on the sidewalls does
seem a bit fragile; mine have a couple of nicks, though nothing that's cut
through the casing (yet).
As you mention, the 28s measure more like 27

Probably some of you have those Nitto racks Rivendell sells. Great
racks. Front and rear both have a flat plate, with a hole facing
forward/backward, for (I assume) mounting a light.
Can anyone name a front light (dyno-powered or battery-powered) or a
rear battery-powered light that I could buy
