to fruition, Kirk posted the following on the 650B list today:
Dear list members,
I have decided that if we can hit 150 pairs of tires by the end of the

Gotta agree here. Switching from the Pasela 35 to the Supreme 40 on
the Hillborne was a big difference. At first I though the tires were
a touch slower. But my overall riding times since putting them on
have been the same. Or (dare I say it), even a touch faster.
As for flat resistance, my wo

When it comes to puncture resistance . . .how we forget how easily
even auto tires with steel belts get nails driven through them.
We are supposed to believe a bicycle tire can be puncture proof?
Solid rubber maybe . . . but so much for your ride :)

I see that Schwalbe has the Marathon Racer in 700x38. Lighter by a
slim margin than the Supreme 700x35. (430g compared to 440g). Sounds

haven't found them to be "bulletproof", exactly.

Sch Mara Supreme 35s. Coly How! or the 40s. The 41s can measure anywhere btw
36 and 40, dpndn on the rim. On Keven's Open Pros: 36. On Synergy rims.
about 40. Wider rims make wider tires. More so than I used to believe even
200 days ago.
