Haha, small world! I met Paul through our riding group sponsored by Velo+ in Lenexa. I've ridden a little gravel with the Nifty Swiftys which I believe are just the 650b version of the JB's. As expected they rolled faster but we're noticeably rougher riding than the Rumpkins. I was running them at the minimum pressure listed on the sidewall. They did measure wider than advertised at 34.5 on synergy rims. If you can fit 35mm tires on the Roadeo, ride light, and pick your lines well, I think the Roadeo will do great. Your Hilsen would be even better, IMHO. The reason I was considering my Bombadil this year is because it doesn't weigh much more than my Sam and I can run just about any 650b tire. My Sam was 25ish pounds stripped down and the Bombadil surprised me weighing in at 26.1 pounds on a digital scale. I'm sure your Roadeo is considerably lighter than both of those and that weight really does make a difference on a long haul.
