Yes, I am pretty sure that is it Jim. I have seen some photos of 59's and that was the tire.
Weight ? Well, a BA isn't much much better , 700x50 is 740g and 700x55 is 810g and they run narrow, but most seem to like the ride if you can forget about comparing them to other tires, which is really overlooked. Since every bike is unique, why compare tires you have on other bikes with *this one* since we are talking about *this one* ? This I ask myself all the time and stops the clamoring of comparitis(chronic comparing). That said, if you want "light and supple", prolly gonna be something like a G-One Speed 60-622 , it'll fit your bike. https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/racing_tires/G-ONE_Speed I have wondered about the Maxxis Torch 2.1 . somewhere in between a BA and the G-One ....http://www.maxxis.com/catalog/tire-473-torch On Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 12:52:15 PM UTC-5, Jim Bronson wrote: > > Anyone who has a Clem, can they confirm that the stock tire is the > KwickNine?
