Curiously we had some Barlow Pass tires and Snoqualmie Pass tires on two
different bikes at the same time the other day. They measured within 2mm
of each otherBarlow at 40 and Snoqualmie at 42. Both were mounted to
very similar width rims.

I had been running my Sam with knobbies for a few months. I've now set it
back up for brevet use, returning the Barlow Pass Extralight tires along
with some Velo Orange aluminum fenders.
I recently put Barlow Pass tires on my Sam. I use 45mm Longboards and am
planning (hoping) to put them on once (before) the winter rains start up.
I'm waiting on a new rack so I haven't tried it yet.

I've run Barlow Passes with fenders on my Homer. Personally, I think
Barlow's are ideal for road riding and can also tackle most fire road/dirt

Yes. I think in the "bigger is better" movement, there might be a tendency
to blow over that sweet spot in pursuit of "more." I had Barlows on a
vintage bike with oodles of clearance and road it all summer as my main
squeeze, did R2D2 on it with those tires. Then a couple weeks ago the axle
I am currently using Snoqualmie Pass standard weight on my Sam with no
fenders. Previously used Jack Browns with Honjo hammered fenders (tried
brass and aluminum). Even ran it with 50mm Big Bens (needed Eno single
speed eccentric rear hub to do it). I love the combination of fat and light

Sam with Barlow Pass is optimal, in my experience, but I have not ridden my
sam with Snoqualmie Pass tires. I did ride Sam with Bruce Gordon Rock and
Roads and thought that was a little too much tire. Barlow Pass and
Steilacooms are both fabulous, in my opinion.
I'm in a re-fendering mode
