Which Tyres?

Whoop, you're right, found folding one for a little over £20 still;

Sweet, cheers

Do the 27mm Paves actually come up as 27mm on normal width rims?

define normal width
my 27mm paves come out at 28mmish on a 18/23mm DTSwissR24

edit: actually don't think there would be real benefit vs 25mm, depends what pressure you run in them.

Thanks for the advice @amey and @edscoble. Unfortunately I've had bad luck with grand/ultra sports and contis in general. @umop3pisdn – that is a ridiculous suggestion

@TM and @JB – gravel kings and paselas are a great shout, I might end up with the Paselas because I was thinking gumwall (for absolutely no reason). I really need to keep the pair under £40 though :( If I do end up getting the stradas in 32 I'll report back

So cheap so good!

The difference in ride between paselas and gravel kings, well they're incomparable.

Also gumwalls >>>>>

Your biek tho

Schwalbe One on my road bike: any reason not to?

nope

Nope

tubeless, yes. Clincher, no.

Why are you even considering putting road tyres on your Pomp?!?

umadbro

I thought it had to be super cold and wet and a muckfest to ride bikes in the woods?

Why not clincher? It's what I'm running and everything's fine so far.

Just a bit fragile.

Fair enough. I'm only about 500 miles in on these but no issues so far, even running them (accidentally) as low as 45psi with my 100kg on 'em.

I've been using them tubeless and they're brilliant, but I've used many Ultremos and the like as standard clinchers and none have survived the lanes of Hertfordshire.

Thunder Burts... Thoughts?

Opposite of my experience. Not had any wear issues with Ultremo or One clinchers, can't remember the last time I had a puncture (touches all wood available)

What tyres for crabon clinchers? Open Corsa SC II? I have GP4ks and they have been excellent but will likely keep them for my alloy wet weather set. Something quick for the summer. Can't afford the new G+ things really.

It's a matte black bike so considering gumwalls for tumblr points too.

GP4ks.

Summer and clincher and carbon and quick and gumwall? Veloflex (Master), older Corsa SC (non G+ are closeout items). GP4000S2 transparent is not quite gumwall-- but a nice tyre. Might also try to find some NOS Paribas.

Ooh the GP4K transparent might be a shout. Only comes in 23mm but perhaps that's good - don't 23mm + aero, wide rims = winning?

The fattest tyres you can jam in.
