Hi All, I just switched out my last favorite rubber: Continental Cyclecross Speed 700-42C's that I bot from Riv last year --- great ride and good for both smooth and gravel as well as mud and freezing surfaces (actually measured 38mm on Mavic A319 rims at approx 60 lbs pressure).
I now am running the Compass Barlow Pass 700-38 extralight tan sidewalls. They measure 37.7mm at 45 lbs on the front and 37.8 at 55 lbs on the rear - on Mavic A319 wheels ( awesomely built by Jude at Sugar Wheelworks in PDX). Have only run errands around town but they feel great - cushy, track beautifully (easy no hands riding) and seem to grip well in the usual PDX wet. Have just got out of the hosp after a bout with pneumonia so I haven't been able to do any long rides but will report back when I put on some miles.
