Hi Tim: I've been commuting and generally wandering around the greater Boston/Cambridge area on Compass/RH 42s on a Cheviot and 38s on an All-City for the last 5 or so years on pavement (or what passes as pavement in construction in the summer which includes milled surfaces, gravel and/or a patch work of all of the above plus steel plates..sooo delightful!).
Regular commute/errands are about 10-15 mi/ daily. Only one flat to date from an errant sharp wire--probably from all the construction debris. Hope this helps!
