Been running Rivendells "Ruffy Tuffy" now for last 10 months on my road bike. They've seen me through last years winter months in Cornwall on a mix of rough country lanes, trails and B-roads and I've decided to keep them on ever since. Just completed a little touring (from north cornwall to paris) again a mix of surfaces and including cobbles seemingly grouted with broken glass bottles, and only now am I thinking about swapping the front and rear to even the wear.
The cornering seemed a little less confident at first, swapping from Open Paves, but they've either got better with a little wear, or I'm just used to it...or, a bit of both.
Anyway, a comfy gumwall at 28c, fast rolling and not one, single Pcte. Not the lightest, but worth it for the benefits of relatively carefree cycling. A good winter/touring tyre and not too shabby elsewhere.
Still keen to try the refuse in a 28c, as the 25c's have been a fit and forget option for so long, but in the meantime these are a tyre I would definitely buy again.
