Hi, Ray: I remembered that you are or were planning a tour with your QB. Are these tires for that?
If so, I'll add my vote for Schwalbe XR's or Supremes. I've had good experiences with both. The edge goes to the XR's for loose stuff (I actually use it as an MTB tire on my Bombadil) and the Supremes for general touring with mostly road. I don't really like the XR's for fast cornering on streets due to the profile, but they are great for touring speeds and with any off-road environment. For general use, it is hard to beat the Pasela Tourguards. They are relatively cheap and effective. My wife now has 3 full summers of touring and many, many miles of recreational riding on 32's with NO flats. I use 35's on my QB here in town and they work great. My preference, at my weight (200 lb) goes to 35's for the best combo of speed, ride quality and rim protection on our potholed roads and on my dirt/asphalt loop rides. Are you still doing your QB tour? How did the new gearing work out?
