I recently purchased a new 56 Sam Hillborne and selected 32mm Pasela
Tourguards when the bike was being built. After riding the thing
almost daily for the past month and doing just a tiny bit of trail
riding while out, I believe that I should've listened the folks at Riv
and purchased the 35mm's...and actually maybe another type of tire
altogether. But..I do have another bike that is in need of some 32mm
tires, so these will go to that bike...My question is this...are the
Jack Brown BLUES (The slightly heavier duty ones) at 33.3mm robust
enough for riding on hard packed earth and cinder for an extended
period of time...I think they are beautiful tires, but I'm not sure if
they have enough traction on loose gravel..dirt, etc. Of course, I
know nothing about the physics of tires on the road/dirt, so maybe
they are just fine.
Otherwise I'm looking at the regular straight up Schwalbe Marathons,
but from what the Riv site says, they are more geared for touring on
roads, than on trails. Like I said, I wont be on trails too much, but
it is coming up a bit in my rides and I've recently learned of some
great trail rides around the city that I'd be into checking out.
Not looking for an aggressive off road tire, just a general all around
do everything tire that fits my sam with fenders...
(currently have the VO 48mm flutted, but I've had a few issues with
them already (all stuff that is my fault), so I'm thinking of
replacing with the 45mm VO stainless steel...I know they are heavy,
but thats OK)
Any advice would be great
