My experience (and the experience of several people I know) has been that
while on paper, the GK and RH tires should be basically identical (they're
made by the same mfg, they have similar design and weight, etc), there is
some difference outside these metrics that result in the Rene Herse tires

a superb rim. Both wide and stiff which makes for a very durable yet
reasonably light wheelset. I don't have a caliper but according to the RH

Adam, I've had Snoqualmies (in Extra Light, Standard and Endurance casings,

Very interested in the conversation as I've been tempted by RH tires
lately. I'm one year into my Shikoros that came with my Atlantis and I love
them...but I'm tempted to try something else when it's time to replace
them. The Barlow Pass Endurance casing seems like the play (wish they had

It seems like most folks are happy with Barlow Pass & fenders, which is
what I have (with 559s), and that's a great combo. Without fenders I'd go
larger, probably the Snoqualmie Pass unless the Oracle Ridge fits w/o
fenders?
I've considered trying to squeeze the Snoqualmies - which are around 4
My Barlow Pass measure 40mm after several months use, mounted on 22mm
internal width rims (Light Bicycle AR28 disc rims).

Very interesting. Both my sets of Snoqualmie Pass are standard casing.
The set on the Quill rims are set up tubeless. The set on the Dyads have
tube. ID rim width are 20.2mm for the Quill and 18.4mm for the Dyad.

Yeah...not really sure why, but there is always some variation, right? They
are setup tubeless, but just the standard casing.
Luckily I have clearance for 50+mm tires in the frame and fork, so I'm
doing fine on that end.

Wow Collin, you're getting 41mm on the Barlows? I get 40mm on the
Snoqualmie Pass when mounted on Velocity Dyads and 42mm when mounted on
Quills. The Barlows mounted on Dyads measured 35mm, if I remember
correctly.

Tim,
As the others have mentioned, don't you dare think about going smaller than
38s. I have RH Barlows (measure closer to 41 on my 21mm ID rims) on my
'gravel' ritchey, but I use the bike as my road bike as well and those
tires are just perfect for road riding and mixed terrain, provided it is
I have a 2016 Sam with Tektro R559 sidepulls. Ran Barlow Pass (standard
casing) with fenders and then moved up to Snoqualmie Pass but were
questionable with fenders. Moved the fenders to a new Surly frame that
have Snoqualmie Pass also, but more clearance. Went tubeless on the Surly

For me personally I don't see a reason for going smaller if I have the
room. The added volume and ability to run lower pressures just makes the
ride better for me. That sad different tires run different sizes so a 38 GK
might run a true 38 or it might actually be 36 on your rim. If that were
