True. Hopefully RBW will post the actual measurements of each tire. I'll

Yes, they're real good at posting actual width. Shame the manufacturer
couldn't do the same! A true 40mm tire would be pretty nice!

Riv site has a photo up of the Big Ben in 55mm size, shows it measures
52.5mm. I'll be the the 50 measures around 47-48. The 50 mm Durene
measures about that. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/tben.htm

Riv is also good at mentioning what rim width was used for the
measurement. That makes a difference. On my Mavic A-719 rims, Schwalbe's

currently have a 45 mm Marathon Plus that measures 44 mm. All at 60 psi.

Thus it has some fading but is like new in every other way. The leather,
