I am not answering your question here, but wanted to go on a bit about how much I like these tires. I splurged and bought a pair of 650A for my old 1966 era 3 speed. This bike is my bad weather, take anything, commuter and upright townie. I had been running cheap Kenda tires for years. The Col de la Vies gave it a silky smooth ride, even pumped up to max-recommended 55psi. This experience, and Jon Heine's BQ articles, about tire performance have enlightened me. Give me any old cheap derailer, for example, but I will splurge on great tires. Perhaps the most important component?!
