Thanks for the info. Your results are similar to mine. I mounted the G-Ones
on Velocity Aeroheads (also 20mm external). They measured out to a true 35mm
(700x35 nominal) and I have about 5mm at the brake bridges and about 2mm at the
stays. I am mostly likely going to sale these if you are in

The Challenge Gravel Grind
I've used GB Cerf, GB Cypres EL, and Jack Brown Greens on my Roadeo, all on H
Plus Son TB14 rims. I like them all for different reasons.
The 28mm Cerfs have the best handling feel on twisty descents and feel fast.
The 30mm Cypres EL are more squirrelly feeling to me on the same descents. They

Tim, how tight do those 38 Gravel Grinders fit? I'm test fitting the new
Schwalbe 700x35 G-Ones on my 53 Roadeo and they are just a little too tight at
the chainstays for my comfort level. Maybe 2mm on each side.

Try the ELs sometime... you've tasted the apples, time for the oranges.

A lot of you guys are using fairly large tires. I have been happy with the
28 Grand Bois for years. I tried Compass 32's ( not extra light ) and my
bike felt sluggish.
Just a thought

I rode Pari Motos on my Sam Hillborne and found them to be great. They
didn't last as long as something like the Fatty Rumpkin, but man they felt
great. All that air volume and a supple tire is just wonderful.
One of the reasons I love the Roadeo is because I can use wider tires if I

I don't do club riding, just solo or with friends. And my Roadeo will
probably get picked occasionally for my commute (on dry days; the Roadeo
will remain my sole un-fendered bike). So, I prefer a slightly wider
tire. My dislike of being limited to 700 x 26 tires was a main reason for

Yeah, It will work but it just isn't ideal and 25's are easier to air up
with a single CO2 cannister. It's worked for me on this bike so far...for
the riding I'm doing on it. If I were doing more solo riding by myself with
that bike I would have stuck with the Stampede Pass tires. As it is, I am
I went on a 200K last month and unfortunately found out all the tubes I had
taken with me that were new in the box were bad - the seams were not
sealed. I run 650Bx38. Desperate to get down the road, someone loaned me
a 700c tube. It's still in there several hundred miles later. Definitely

That puts you in a rare club, abandoning Compass 32s for Continental 25s!
FWIW, with a total difference of 7mm, pretty much any 700C tube will get
you home no problem.

Last year I went from the 32mm Compass Stampede to 25mm Continental Grand
Prix 4000S on rims that are 22mm wide. It's a relatively fast tire that is
still comfortable and allows me to ride the same size tube as my riding
buddies. This past year I really rode the Roadeo as a kitted up club rider
I ride my Roadeo with Grand Bois Cypres tires. I have ridden that on
several miles of fire roads, so it handles fine on dirt too. I have also
used Schwalbe Kojaks on the bike and they ride nicely too (although the
Grand Bois is more cushy).
Enjoy your bike!!

What size are you using? As a current Roadeo owner who rides 95% on paved
roads, 700x28's are my favorite. I have been using Grand Bios Cerfs for
many years. I tried the new Compass 32's but they felt sluggish to me. I
guess tires are really a personal choice. For me the Grand Bois and Compass
p.s., that is a great looking Roadeo. I have one with a similar paint job:

Short answer to your question: yup!
Also, looks great. Congrats on the new bike!
I used to have a Giordana XL-Super. Rode great, loved that bike,
definitely regret selling it.
