I've used Paselas, JB greens & blues, T-serves, Marathon Supremes and standard Marathons for brevets. The worst of the bunch was probably the Jack Brown Blues. I used 700x32 standard Marathons on two 600ks, both of which included a lot of rain and a lot of riding on hwy shoulders. I just didn't want to be changing flats at 11pm at night in the rain. I used T-serves for a 1200k. They were fine too. I didn't lose any fillings due to their lack of subtleness. Subtle tires are okay and certainly have their place but there's not a deal breaker for a good time randonneuring (pun intended). --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
