Eric: I have 38mm Pari Motos on my Riv Road (compact double for low to moderate climbing). They handle chipseal well, are quick, and have good grip in turns. Kevlar bead and lightweight but not long wearing or great on punctures if you ride where goatheads abound. I'll be doing a RUSA Populaire on it next Saturday. My Waterford RS-12 (XD-2 triple for taller and steeper climbing) is set up exactly like a Riv (it has the extended HT and same geometry) but has Continental Top Contact Speed in 32mm. RBW sells or sold these tires for Clems in particular and called them "basketball tires." Not as plush at the Pascentis but tougher and longer lasting.
