Which Tyres?

How are they for durability?

Not my personal experience but they are supposed to be very good. @skinny @JB @umop3pisdn and few others on here swear by it.

The most durable option would be marathon supreme.

Smallest they seem to come in is 32mm on their website. Will read/look into the paves a bit further.

As if you left me off that list

Bit of a tarts question, do 27mm only come in green stripe, or is all black available?

The Pavé fascists wants you to ride with green stripe.

They look good IMO.

Vanilla bikes have the 27 mm in black at the moment.

Only 25mm available on website. Bugger!
Don't know if I can live with the green stripe.

Just bought "original" 27mm for my pal and he's got a red bike!

No stripe? No Pavé!

Wiggle have 1 left of the black in 27mm

Tbf I have a green bike and I bought the black version.

Plenty of OG in 27mm: it's god's way of stopping you making an awful mistake.

Ah come on! Do the gods really want me to have green stripey tyres?
I may bow to peer pressure though, the feeling is strong for the Pave, surely you can't all be wrong.

Go watch some Paris-Roubaix footage and then tell me you don't want the "green badge of courage" on your beik...

The only coloured tyre allowed on any bike, due to it’s unrivalled heritage, is the venerable and now ReVered Open Pavé CG

Oh.

I didn't realise that shower of wank was onto them.

That's rather taken the shine off.

And they don't work on that Genesis, because they match.

Ok. Tis done. Bundle ordered from Vanilla. Hopefully @andyp is right, in the bumph it says tyres shipped will be all black.

Both of this

I love paves and use them pretty much year round. But... Gravel kings are way more durable in my experience. I used them in 28mm on my fixi skidder for winter and there's still plenty of life on the rear. Admittedly not much skidding. But it does include a heap of gravel miles from the summer too.
Paves ride and grip better though.

Cheers. Will stick em on when they arrive, hang the gravel kings in the shed, and stick them back on once I've killed the Paves.

Anyone every pull the valve complete out of tubs?

I was gluing a set tonight and was using my fingers to pull the valve out a bit more so I could get the air nozzle to connect...and the whole valve came out in my hand.

Can the valve be super glued or epoxied back into the tub carcass or does it need to be binned? I really don't want to toss it because it's never been used.

Go watch some Paris-Roubaix footage and then tell me you don't want the "green badge of courage" on your beik...

Or alternatively the green stripe of shame - couldn't get FMBs/sponsor made us ride Vittoria.
