Pancake,
I have these Specialized tires too. Not supple but slick and durable. These I
belt are also out of production. I would bundle all four for $60 net to me.

Very good to hear, maybe this will be my next tire ... for now I've got the
38mm G-one speed tires arriving in the mail today (hopefully). Very helpful
to know
I have a set of resist nomad 700 x 45d in skinwall which came off of my Sam
Hillborne that I that I would sell. Total dark horse in this category and I
believe they are out of production.

The Compass tire is nice but I had to many issues so I had the Shikoro 48s
on my 56 Sam. NOt as supple but smooth and no flats.

I suspect the Soma Supple Vitesse would have fit based on the Big Bens that
barely fit according to these photos from another list member:

But I’m happy with having ordered the 38mm g-one speed tires. I’ll wear them

I love Rene Herse tires but I would buy a different brand for tubeless.
They seem to be more fickle than other brands for tubeless. Maybe the
endurance casing is better?
60 psi is very high for 44c, I run my 42c at 40 - 45 psi. That would be
the first adjustment I would make, personally.
Did you order them in the 38? Curious to know once you mount them if you
think you could have bumped up a size (especially if you think you could
and fenders would still fit)

I’m convinced Adam, though I ordered the “Speed” because that’s what I have on
my Rosco Baby (albeit in 60mm width) and I really enjoy them. I don’t get the
Sam in much dirt (the Rosco, my Cheviot, or, if needed, my Salsa El Mariachi!)
so it’s my “go slightly faster bike” that will enjoy much
try Schwalbe All Around 700x38 (measure 40mm). similar suppleness/speed as
Rene Herse but seem more resilient and have some tread / bite

Thanks for the quick reply. Bikes are kept in the garage (inside).
I also use the Basketball tires on my Cheviot, 42mm, reflective sidewalls, can
be found for close to $20 AND the VERY rarely flat on me (maybe twice in 3,000
miles, just switched to a new pair about 200 miles ago). They’re my
Do you keep your bike outside? I've had a few Compass Steilacoom and
Barlow Pass blow out in the sidewalls all of a sudden (scary, in traffic
each time), and my theory is it's sun exposure degrading the sidewall after
a year or so outdoors in NY. I recently replaced with Conti basketball
