That's the Naches Pass. Excellent tire; I use the EL version with tubes and
Orange Seal.

Re: [RBW] Yet another tired question...

2024-02-26 Thread Patrick Moore 
The Elk Passes are the most wonderful road tires I've used, but at least on
my rims (13 mm IW) a bit narrow (27-28 mm) for anything except the firmest
and smoothest dirt surfaces. What about the Rene Herse Naches Pass, 559 X
42? They come in an extralight model at ~300 grams IIRC; I've been using
these, with tubes + Orange Seal, for several years and, while they don't
"seem" to roll as effortlessly as the 175 gram Elk Passes they roll very
well indeed and expand the scope of dirt surfaces that the bike can handle
-- I ride mine in shallow sand to take convenient dirt detours between
pavement sections, in order to avoid heavy pavement auto traffic.

So far that's been my favorite tire on my 26" wheeled All Rounder.

One more thing. Your continentals are the most uncomfortable tire I ever rode.  
I know cause I got 5000 mile before 1st flat.
Paselas & Elk Pass are good for Erie canal.

RE: [RBW] Yet another tired question...

2024-02-25 Thread Bernard Duhon 
Wife & I did the Erie canal from
Lockport to Pittsford.  What little gravel was fine stone, no mud.  Not a lot 
of flat hazards either.  IT is much “tamer” then the GAP & C & O path.
There were skinny tire bikers who seemed to be doing fine.

Tho there is some lose gravel around the Fingerlakes

On my “fast” bike I ride 35mm 38mm on our local chip seal.  That would be 
adequate.

My touring bike has Marathon Supreme 1.6  inch is a great compromise on Size, 
flat protection, comfort, weight  & speed. That would be a good choice.
Also I got the 2 inch Supreme ( measures 47 mm on 18mm rim) I like it also.  
Both available in 26 inch.
