That'd be a shame! I don't see the value in a 38mm tire that can't
be ridden on dirt. I guess I'll find out soon enough, but if the
Pari-
Moto is too fragile for serious mixed terrain use, I'll revert to
grand bois.
If the grand bois is suitable, I can't see how the Pari-Moto
wouldn't be as well. Bill's restricting it to paved roads might
mean nothing more than that he has other, sturdier options available
to him. And we knew from the start, this was to be a tire of the
"fast, light" persuasion rather than a super heavy duty competitor
to the Schwalbe offerings.
Depends on which Grand Bois. The Ourson is good in dirt, but the Hetre
not so much. It's all Cush and no traction. It's OK to an extent, but
if it gets steep it starts slipping on me.
It's still my favorite tire, but I take the Trimlines if I expect to
see much dirt.
Or the Neo-motos if it's ALL dirt.
Personally, my Pari-Motos will be strictly road tires.
Your mileage may vary, I've got friends who kick my butt on the trails
with 23mm slicks!
