Hi y'all--Kirk sent an update about the PariMoto to the 650b list last week and I asked him about how he envisioned this tire being used. Based on his response, I'm more excited than ever about these tires! Well, here's my question and his answer:
I asked: There's some discussion/speculation about the intent of this tire on the RBW googlelist. Can you weigh in briefly on the appropriateness of this new tire for, say mixed surface riding, multiday supported or unsupported touring and so on? I personally am planning to do some touring (supported or credit card) on my Saluki in a few weeks and I'd be interested in whether your new tire would be a good choice for a ride that will include packed dirt railtrails and pavement of various quality, or if I should stick with the Trimlines for the time being. If you wish to offer some thought in the thread on that list but don't care to subscribe, post a response here and I'd be happy to summarize there if you like. Kirk replied: The tire will be appropriate for all the riding you have described. The tires were intended to strike the balance between a Trimline and a race tire. It's not going to have the same puncture resistance as a heavier tire, but should not be an issue for your needs. I see now that the word "event" is causing some confusion. The tire is going to be a great "all-rounder" and will not be useful just on sunny days or competition.
