Sorts the same thread as before, but with more detailed questions below I am considering before I buy. I love my Hetres, but if the 38 or 32mm tires feel and work just as well and will pass thru my R559 brakes without having to deflate them, then why not get them for the next set? Nit picky, I know, but trying to optimize for my next set of tires.
I was thinking the Loup 38's, but thought I could even go to Cypres 32's. I just ride roads/MUPS. Definitely want normal casings. Not the extra legers. *Was thinking about these issues:* *1. Which, in theory, has the least likelihood of punctures (tread thickness and inflation pressures)?* Tread thickness on Loups is 3mm. Tread thickness on Cypres is 3.5? (I think the same as the 3.5 tread Hetre?). Can both be ridden at 50psi? Compass site doesn't say inflation ranges of the tires. Sounds like both the same likelihood of puncture of they can be ridden at 50psi for less debris hammerability into tread? *2. Cushy, soft, road-buzz-dampening ride.* Loup is higher volume than the other, so in theory, the Loup should be more cushy, but don't know if I will notice a diff between the tires, being as they are both wide and if they can both be ridden at 50psi. Any info is appreciated. Also interested to see what a sub-300 gram tire (Cypres) feels like to ride. Not sure if any of this will even make a difference for an un-racer like me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
