Will someone please, puh-leeeeze make a Grand Bois in a 559X28? There are many utility tires -- City Slicker type; the Pasela comes closer to a supple tire, but it's not really a top quality riding tire, in my experience with it. And there are a few 26X1" tires -- Conti makes one. I use old stock 26X1 Turbos because of the casing quality, but I do wish they were at least 4 mm wider than the 22 mm they measure on my rims. FWIW, I just swapped out the rear Turbo after 1700 miles; very thin but no increase in punctures yet. The front of course is good for 3000 easily, unless I rotate it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
