The Roly Poly got nixed on BQ's rollout reviews, tho' I don't necessarily buy everything they say (too many variables, IMO). But how do the Paris-Roubaix and the GB do on firm dirt and gravel? Would I be pushing it? I've been thinking of a pair of JB Greens, which I've tried and liked, but can easily get by with 28s for the kind of riding I expect to do on this bike (the Herse) -- in fact, just took of the barking, doggy 32 mm TourGuard Paselas and replaced them with used IRC Tandem 30s: 27.5 mm versus 29.6 or so on very similar rims, and at the same pressures -- 70-80 or so -- the IRCs are noticeably smoother over 4" wide expansion cracks. I do not like the Tourguards, so any one who wants a good deal on them, LMK.
Also: what do the JBGs measure on a 23 mm rim?
