No experience in the 26” sizes, but I have run the endurance casing of the RH Juniper Ridge and Fleecer Ridge on some serious tire eating terrain and have never had another tire be as durable. I destroy a Maxxis tire almost every ride it seems (only a slight exaggeration) but the RH endurance

I hope you enjoy the tires! I’ve got three bikes with RH (or Compass) tires, some for years. I have two sets in the shed for another bike, and to swap out knobbies for slicks. I enjoy the ride of those tires, and I haven’t had bad flatting issues. My last set of flats were pinch flats,

There are no better reasons :) I went to the LBS and they are ordering in some RH tires. It’s only three blocks to the shop, but I have some mobility problems and rode instead of (painfully) walking. It was 10 degree today so that was a bit of an adventure. It was so very nice to get outside

IME, oh yes indeed. If the principal reason for riding is fun, as it is for me, the superb rolling and cushioning qualities of RH EL tires, even those only 28 mm wide, are worth even more than $150 a pair. Others' priorities may differ. On Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at 8:44:30 PM UTC-5 Lynn Haas

I'd like to hear more about 26" Gravel Kings. I've read many reports about the fast-rolling, smooth ride of Gravel Kings for 700C wheels, but only on this thread have I heard about the 26" model. Is the 26" (559 bsd) Gravel King non-SK a fast-rolling tire compared to, say, RH 26" tires? I'd be

I'm a big fan of Panaracer tires for 26" applications. My favorite all-around is the Pasela in 26 x 1.75, but that width seems to be perpetually hard to find. I also really like the Gravelking and Gravelking SK. Keep in mind these are very different tires. The standard Gravelking is smooth and

I hope they are! I just got the RH Naches Pass (26x1.8) for my 92 XO-1 (they fit, there's ample clearance, actual width might be narrower). +1 for Panaracer Gravelkings. Shop around and you can find decent deals. Patch NYC On Wednesday, February 2, 2022 at 8:44:30 PM UTC-5 Lynn Haas wrote: > I

If you think Marathon Supremes are prone to flats, just wait until you get some Rene Herse tires! What about some nice Continentals? I have always had good luck with their tires: https://bicyclewarehouse.com/products/continental-contact-plus-reflex-bike-tire-black On Wednesday, February 2,
