Thanks. I do plan to bypass testing others and buy the NP ELs; have to wait and pay my taxes next week to see if the guvmint leaves me enough $$ for a pair and some tubes. The Fairweathers -- Thanks, Conway -- look very similar to the Paselas, which look heavyish in the tread, though you give

I currently use Pasela 1.75 (non-Kevlar belt) on an X0-3 and Nachez Pass EL on an Atlantis and I like them both. They both measure 41mm wide on 90's style narrow rims 21-23mm outside width. If I'm paying attention the Natchez Pass are nicer, If I'm just riding errands then in reality I don't

Thanks, Roberta. I'll be interested to hear how you like them. 42 mm is just barely wide enough to ride the sandy bosque roads and trails, with effort and walking in the deep spots, and if they roll well on pavement, then they'd be good as an occasional alternative to the 29 mm Elk Passes. What

Patrick, This won’t help you at the moment but I did spring for the 26x1.8 NP and received them a few days ago. I’ll report back when I get them mounted and rolling. Best, Rich in ATL Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 26, 2020, at 8:28 PM, Patrick Moore wrote: > >  > Thanks, all. I have a

Thanks, all. I have a used Pasela that measured 41.23 mm on my 21 mm rim at about 40 psi. I guess the question comes down to: Is it worth spending for Paselas, only to up and spend more on the Nachez Passes? So, next question: Have any of you used both of these, that is the ~40 mm Pasela and the

My Paselas in 26x1.75 (both wire and folding) have been right at 42mm on Rhyno Lites. Eamon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Patrick, If spending less on tires is the driving factor, then I concur with Jason on the choice of 1.75 Paselas. I think I paid $45 or so for a pair of recently purchased Pasela Pro Tites now on my Atlantis. They measure 41mm on Sun RhynoLite rims. Certainly not as refined as the Herse

Sorry I missed the question on 1.75 Pasela size - I find they run a bit narrow, more like 39-40mm on 25mm [external] rims On Friday, 26 June 2020 at 10:12:27 UTC-7 Patrick Moore wrote: > Thanks, Jason I had the Pasela in mind and may buy a pair. The > Extraterrestrials look a bit beefy and

No need to apologize, I don't like Marathons either haha! I was stressing over tire options in this size before, as I wanted to run 60-62mm metal fenders on my Clem and that capped my options at around 48c. A lot of the good 26" options seem to run in the 52 - 54mm range. Fortunately for me,

Thanks, Jason I had the Pasela in mind and may buy a pair. The Extraterrestrials look a bit beefy and have too much tread for my taste. Sorry, haven't liked Marathons. I've used PowerBlocks in the 451 size, but found them rather doggish despite others' opinions; at least, the Pasela ought to roll

I would say 26 x 1.75" Panaracer Pasela will be hard to beat for this criteria. Other options I know of being Surly Extraterrestrial 26 x 46c and Schwalbe Marathon. On Wednesday, 24 June 2020 at 13:15:52 UTC-7 Patrick Moore wrote: > God willing, I'll have a new 26" wheel frame into which to
