Soma Cazaderos can handle light to medium-ish trails and are surprisingly great on pavement, and I've mostly had good luck with ultradynamico slicks. My experience with RH has been mixed -- love how they roll, but not reliable (again, this is just my experience). If I were to get them again, I'

Grand Bois Cypres or Hetre. I also run 38mm GK Slicks. The GKs feel a little more stout but in my experience the Grand Bois tires have a nicer road feel. Best, Rich in ATL On Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 6:32:36 PM UTC-5 nicker...@gmail.com wrote: > I commuted 30 miles a day for a few years

I commuted 30 miles a day for a few years in Maine, I rode lots of tires, but the ones I got flats on where the light casing slick Gravel Kings, and Rene Herse light casing. The standard casing Rene Herse held up well, but cut easily, enough so that the tire lasted 1/4 the miles of the Pari-Moto

I have a NIB pair of 650x38 Loup Loup Pass Standard Casing tires that I would sell for $120 shipped CONUS if you're interested. I upsized to 650Bx42 (BSP) and they're sitting on the shelf. 38s are better than 32s, but 42s are better still! David in Philadelphia On Tuesday, January 21, 2025 at

I got a lot of miles out of the Loup-Loup pass tires, but the Pari-Motos are bargain compared to Rene Herse, even if I don't get the same mileage. Plus you can get them in black sidewall without paying more. Austin On Tuesday, January 21, 2025 at 10:34:55 AM UTC-8 Piaw Na wrote: > Agreed on th

Agreed on the Pari Motos. I swapped out my kid's bike from the WTB Nano to these and the kids went from hating the bike to loving it and going fast. I run RH Stampede Passes on my wife's bike and on the tandem, but if the Pari Motos were available for 700c wheels there's no chance I'd pay the ex

Rene Herse - The 38mm Loup Loup Pass just might be what you're looking for. I've run the standard casing which I thought was superb. https://www.renehersecycles.com/product-category/components/tires/650b/?srsltid=AfmBOorswI1PuVhLlqJlY1TsIiyWARWXGF1yjIQ9SYTGR6zCouuafTxT Steve in AVL On Sunday,
