True, my one week of experience in Oregon is not a comprehensive review of the JB Green tire. I would say it's more a review of Oregon street sweeping programs. I have ridden these tires maybe 500-1000 miles in generally well-swept Minneapolis, with no flats. I selected the JB Green specifically because it is among the lightest tires in the 700x32-35 range, not because I expected lots of flat-resistance. I also used lightweight tubes. I will continue to use the JB Green for my general riding in town, long day rides, maybe gravel rides, etc.
Of course, for "loaded touring", we all have our own level of risk tolerance. For my next trip, I expect to be further from civilization, with more dire consequences for a disabled bike. Probably going to use Marathon Extremes on my Surly Troll. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
