I do enjoy the Cyprés on my Ebisu, but was hoping for something a bit wider for
my Pelican which hauls heavy cargo and commutes on the bumpy torn up streets of
downtown San Francisco.
After everyone's praise of the Kojak I decided to try em out in 700x35 on the
Pelican, replacing 35mm Paselas.
I agreeI think I need mega puncture proofness though. Are the JB
tires good in that way or would a Marathon Supreme be a better
choice? I'm still hovering at 258 and 35mm is narrow for me but on
pavement they seem fine. I just had an annoying experience with a
staple and my commute is filled

I wore my Rivendell shirt today, "No One But No One Makes A Monkey Out

looking at the new shirts on Rivbike.com, just now, and while the

I think
35mm is the best size (that I've found) for optimum gearing
flexibility on my Quickbeam, too. I think it's the size the bike was
designed for. Maximum size, maybe. I loved my 28s when I was lighter
(200#) and rode more on nice asphalt and none on gravel logging
