I tried JB's (Green - haven't ridden the Blues) when they first came out - back when the Paselas tended to be slightly undersized for the stated dimension. The difference seemed noticeable, but probably was not free from observer bias. I had a hard time convincing myself to put the Paselas ba

+1 on JB Greens. For me on my Riv custom they are mighty fine. I've even hoarded a supply just in case -JimD On Apr 5, 2014, at 11:44 PM, john wrote: > I'd go for the Jack's for sure. (Can't speak for the Blues, which I have not > used, but the Greens, for sure, go for it!) The JB Greens do

Sorry if this is an old, worn out topic. My main question is to do with the benefits of a smoother rolling tire (Jack Brown) vs a slightly fatter tire. The Pasela isn't that much larger than the Jack Brown, but on the other hand, the Jack Brown isn't that much larger than my current tires. Both
