[RBW] Re: Recommend 700 x 28c tire, please.
I have a set of Clement Strada lgg tires that I've ridden for about 1500 miles. Zero flats, fast riding (I'm not a super fast rider but I never felt the tires were slowing me down at all). They show a tiny bit of wear, but certainly have a lot of tread to go. Overall, I'd definitely recommend them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I’ve never had more than 75psi in my Chinook Passes, but I only weigh 140 pounds. I have the extra light version, and am a little over 1000 miles in, with no flats. I do find them noticeably nicer riding than the 28mm non-belted Paselas they replaced, but not necessarily dramatically so. I chalk that up to the unbelted Paselas still being a really nice riding tire for the money. My only gripe with them is that the tread pattern picks up debris in the rain, and it slowly works its way in, causing flats. In a decade or more of riding them, almost every flat I had (not many) was in November and December (first 2 months if Seattle’s rainy season). After December, it seems it’s rained enough to wash most of the debris off the roads. If it was less rainy here, I’d probably still ride them in 28’s. I do still ride 26x1.75 Paselas on my old mountain bike. Eamon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I recently bought a pair of the 700x28c Vittoria Corsa G+ for my new Roadeo. I haven’t built up the new Roadeo yet, but have been riding the tires on my Ram. They look and feel great.

On second thought, maybe my pinch flats were nothing but bad luck, or sample variation in tires. My Compass 38's were flat-prone, as are the 28's, but my 35's are not (all are EL casing). Also, I now think at least one of my pinch flats may have been due to a slow leak that lowered psi to a point that a pinch flat was inevitable.

Not my experience. 700 x 28 Chinooks at 60psi front and rear was plenty supple for me when I had them.

Doug said "I was told that you really start to notice the difference with Compass at 32 and above." I have to agree with the above. My Compass 28's have to be pumped to near 90psi to avoid pinch flats, and at this pressure I don't feel much suppleness so there's little to distinguish them from other 28mm tires, except for higher cost and lower flat protection. With low pressures on my Compass 35's and larger, the the suppleness is there and IMO the cost is justified.

[RBW] Re: Recommend 700 x 28c tire, please.
I have ridden Panaracer Paselas now for about 16 years and love them. They have been affordable, durable, not at all flat-prone, and are responsive and comfortable enough for me to be happy with them on two AIDS/LifeCycle rides (2002, 2003--no flats in 545 miles either time) and at 45 MPH on descents. I usually run them at 90 PSI for normal Bay Area road rides in the East Bay Hills. My 1970s Windsor Pro has a 28mm front and a 32mm rear for the steep dirt and gravel sections. I have yet to ride them for long distances at 60-65 PSI but believe that is my next step down from 80-85 PSI for Eroica 2019. The other reason I prefer them to darker tires like the Continentals is that the tan sidewalls "look right" on a classic steel road bike...

Conti 4000. On my 23 mm rims the 28 mm Conti tires measure close to 30 mm inflated to 80psi. I like that they have a nice minimal tread and that means to some degree you can see the wear happening. Tire are cushy, wear well, and do not seem at all flat prone. Michelin slick 28 Endurance Pros good too. I simply prefer the Conti.

Passellas aren’t the bargain they used to be during the skinny tire heyday. There’s many better alternatives these days, as has been mentioned in previous posts. Gravel King, Compass, Conti GP4000, Veloflex, Soma SV, are all great choices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

For supple, light, and fast, Compass Chinook Pass, or Challenge Paris-Roubaix 700x27 but actually wider than the Compass Chinook once mounted.

I have been intrigued by the Gravel Kings for a while now, both for the nice price and the design. Sounds like they could hold a flame to the Compass/GB offerings, but I will start a new thread for reviews on that. So far, looks like I will hopefully try those or the 28 GB Cerfs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I just grabbed a pair of 28mm Gravel King Slicks during the eBay discount day. Need to downsize my Ram's tires to accommodate the winter fender situation. They have some flat protection.
