Where did you source the Rampart from? Trying to decide in these or Horizons, with on triend tan sidewalls.

I'd wholeheartedly recommend Horizons. Have put around 3,500 miles on mine so far and they look like new. No punctures and hardly any cuts. They've gone over some horrendous Norwegian gravel roads in the rain and some really rocky paths, plus 6 months of London commuting.

Full price, I got Horizon but due to the fact they’re old tyres, some of them deep through the sidewalk, not a problem but it make it trickier to keep it inflated.
Went for Rampart, work straight away.

After fitting Teravail Rampart with tubeless, it a hella lots of fun.
The geometry on paper is very slack (70.5 head tube with 50mm rake), but it felt much more alive with the 650b that it's build with in mind, even when I have to fit 120mm stem on it (!!) to get the reach right.
The original 50c tyres were 670g each with 225g inner tube, which much to my amusement, was fine.
Obviously better tubeless naturally.
