I admit I'm a little troubled about all the attention paid to tire choice with 650B wheels. I'm not one to spend a lot of money on tires, and I've had great results for many years with Panaracer Paselas. Rode to Kansas on them, did PBP twice on them (no flats in 2400 kilometers of riding), and *

Eric, I hated buying GB Cerfs for $60, but they are so good on my Roadeo. Also, they last a long time for a high performance tire. I have to believe that the Hetres have to make a big difference over the lower end tires that you have tried. Hope you enjoy the Hetres. On Thursday, December 26, 2

I definitely concur with Bruce on the tire evaluation.  On my Bleriot, I've ridden Col de la Vies, Maxy Fasty's and Hetres.  I definitely prefer the Hetres.  Maxy Fasty's would be second choice.  Col de la Vie's would be a (distant) third.  (Bruce doesn't mention Hetres...)Joan   On 12/25/13, B

I've ridden all the tires mentioned and reported my own findings. The G.B. Oursons use the same tread as CdV but on a better body. Also ride nicer and to me quicker. On 12/25/2013 4:50 PM, Steve Palincsar wrote: On 12/25/2013 05:35 PM, Bruce Herbitter wrote: The CdVs are slow tires. Nifty Swi

The CdVs are slow tires. Nifty Swiftys are flat resistant but the Maxy Fasty is nicer in my book for quick riding. Looking forward to the rest of your impressions. On 12/25/2013 1:39 PM, Eric Norris wrote: Here are a few quick shots of my new-to-me Bleriot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyo
