Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
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 have been amazing. Just my experience. If only they made a 2.6… Enjoy the ride!

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
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, including a rim dent, so I don’t blame the tires. I blame rainstorms washing the dirt off the trails, exposing many many large sharp rocks. And I will take that over drought any season. I have periodic gout flare ups that destroy me for walking, but I can still ride without pain. I hope your issues aren’t that!

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
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 and feel the bike come alive. And that concludes my ride report.

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
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 wrote: >> I have. They look nice.

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
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 interested in the 1.1" and 1.8" models, nothing
fatter (fatter won't fit on the 2 frames I have).
If you have used 26" Gravel Kings in 1.1 or 1.8" sizes, especially if you
can compare them to RH tires, EL or regular, please do tell us your
impressions.
Paselas: I commuted on 1.25 mm 559 Paselas (non-Tourguard) for several
years and found that they rolled well but were fragile, particularly the
sidewalls; they were very susceptible to goathead flats (more so than
lighter 23 mm 26" tires: Specialized Turbo, Conti GP, and Mich Pro Race),
and had a very fine pressure sweet spot between harsh and wallowy. Lynn
stated his or her dislike of Kojaks, but I switched to 1.35 mm Kojaks from
those Paselas, and I found that they rolled as or almost as well and
certainly resisted flats better and lasted much longer. (All of this long
before modern sealants, which simply changed the world; now you can ride
the lightest tires in thorn country by using sealants in tubes or in
tubeless setups.)

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
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 have. They look nice.

Re: [RBW] Re: Favorite 26" tires
I have the Rene Herse Humptulips Ridge (is that how you spell it??) on my Bstone MB-2 and really like them!
