what is tarck’s current 32-35mm tubeless road tire? bonus points for subtle nods to multi surface riding, but pavement will be the primary thing here
kinda somewhere between a clement strada ush or wtb exposure. trying to avoid schwalbe price points. anybody ever fux with a maxxis refuse?
I’m pretty OK with WTB exposure. Will measure bigger than 30. Mine are at 32 on a somewhat narrow DT RR511db (i18).
They could be faster like a true road racer but they have held up well so far after about 600 miles of use. Good in the wet.
Up in the 35mm range the Jon Bon Jovie is pretty great. Probably faster than the Exposure. Holding up well after plenty of miles of use on my shop partner’s bike. I keep a close eye on his stuff, so he’s always good on sealant. No leaks or flats. Almost 100% pavement miles though.
Refuse is noticeably more robust. Probably a better choice if more gravel (or Chicago broken glass) is in the plans. A good C&O tire if you can only clear old school CX tires.

a mid-level Continental 650b x 28mm
“Perfect” for the incoming 650b All City Nature Boy in small sizes and the other similar Q brand bikes we’re going to see in small sizeways with sky high bottom brackets.
Someone at All City read that 650b wheels worked better for smaller riders, then just went fucking bananas and redesigned everything.
CHICKS HATE PEDAL STRIKE!

Had a tire blowout yesterday on my way to a ride. Went to my LBS and ended up with a used pair of Babbyshoe for $15. I’ve always resisted compass but the price was right. Could be a disaster.
Wow your LBS just has used Compass tires laying around? Livin’ the dream.
Did you ever use those Panaracers I sold you?
That was my plan…boot my tire, ride Mercer Island, then put on the Panaracers. Other decisions were made. So no, not yet. I figure once I hate all the flats I’m getting, I’ll put on your tires.

Seemed stupid to boot my tire at a bike shop.
