Which Tyres?

I see Planet X have the lighter Rivendell Jack Brown tyres for £21. Any good?

They were hipster gold at one point, still good I guess.

It does say Planet X have them in black, but I can't see any matching that description on the internet. I was going to get some Hyper 35mm, but might go for these instead. 100g lighter, faster, more punctures.

In fact this thread should be renamed to 'why you should buy Marathon Supremes chat'

In 700.. Or Marathon Almotion--- heavier but also robuster and counterintuitively better rolling.. Schwalbe is hard to understand.. Interesting that they don't seem to have something like the Shredda Evo in 700c-- OK they also killed the Shredda Evo (PaceStar rubber, 127 EPI, etc.) in all sizes (it was designed as a BMX tyre to compete against Powerblock and DTH) but still...

Are Paselas still the best bet for a gumwall with puncture resistance / speed / cost well balanced?

I’m thinking 25c.

Nah they're out of fashion now

Is there anywhere in the UK you can buy Rock and Roads? Specifically the tubeless 43c all black ones?

Anyone got any experience with these ?

Or should I just buy gravelkings for a few quid extra?

Used to be well thought of when produced by Rivendell

They were always made by panaracer. I've got the 33mm version. They're ok but nothing special, a bit plasticy but roll fine and reasonably hard-wearing. A decent compromise between toughness and rolling speed I'd say.
The checked tread does look super-sweet, which is obviously the main thing.

It's pretty much the 10th anniversary of the first mention of Marathon Supremes on the forum.

Do Marathon Supremes come in 700x28c?

K, but what’s in fashion?

Time-capsule that thread:

pump your tyres up man, what pressure you running? i keep mine at 120psi the very least i don't even get a puncture on the cheapest tyres when i skid my tyres till the threads show :D

When did we all start getting punctures? I certainly don’t recall many when I rode the budget rubinos so overinflated you would worry about blowing the bead while inflating.
I’m gonna get some 19c tyres again and ride like it’s 2010 all day long.
Either that or I’ll continue to ride my squishy, artisanal compass tyres which puncture at the merest whiff of a thorn while convincing myself it’s fine cos the ride is so much better..

They used to, as I managed to source one that's currently on my gf's bike, but not sure they do any more since I had less luck with a more recent search. (And purchased a Durano Plus instead.)

Greatest tyre ever made, now also tubeless.

Was about to ask "which 35c tyre that's light, supple and fast feeling, without being arse clench in the wet and moderate at keeping puncture out" also tubeless... Or can be ghetto tubeless.

Had come down to conti contact speed, but then saw hyper voyager were the choice to get.

That reflective strip comes off Yeah? And ghetto tubeless, anyone had much success?

i would avoid the hypers in the wet. Have found them to be lacking grip. Great in the dry though.

Disagree with that personally, much grippier than Compass were.

I was using them tubeless. Not easy, but can be done if you know what are you doing. It may burp at low pressures, but at something normal they were lovely.
You can remove the strip, but there's grey canvas under it so i doesn't look great. I guess you can sharpie it or just leave it until the road crap turns it black.
Also disagree with the wet comment, they come coated in something but after a few miles the grip is good (i was in 38c)
All in all they were super fast and grippy, pretty good in towpaths and farm tracks too with the right pressure

Excellent cheers!
Found most tyres have a bit of a skin on them, lots of dry slow corners gets them roughed up nice.

Expecting to run thr around 50-70psi, but will see how it goes. Putting a tube in for the first few weeks to get them some way round helps a lot with most of these

If you're not 120kg that's way too much. Try more like 40psi, if not lower.

75kg and a weighty commuter bike. will experiment when they arrive

Looking for recommendations.

Wanting to try some fatter rubber on my winter/disc brake bike, currently on 27mm Vittoria Paves. Is going up to 32/35/37mm going to make a big difference - for better or worse - to speed / comfort / handling / rolling resistance etc?

I'm basically looking for something approximating a 32-37mm version of a Conti GP4S - what tyres would people put in that kind of ballpark? i.e. a robust yet fast, largish volume road tyre?

They'll be running on Pacenti SL25's, I currently use tubes so I'd stay with those but tubeless is an option down the line.
