The roads up there are so narrow and windy it’s like an acid trip. Did the 57. And it had just enough chunk!Franco Rinaldi c: 646.403.0661
-Pardon any typos, Siri typed this message- I planned on doing the 55 mile and then woke up at 10:30 am....oops. 29 miler was super fun though! Great weekend, excited for next year.
I was exhausted yesterday - the Mixed Nuts 55 was no joke - but it was a great time. Next year I'm going to do a ride that hits J.P. Weigle's workshop - that sounded like it was very cool.

-Pardon any typos, Siri typed this message- My crew is going to be doing the ATB 55, maybe with an early shortcut to cut it down to 45, if anyone wants to link up. I'm the guy with the beard and the Hunq :)

I am going to do this… Rolling out at 9am If anyone wants to start early and go slow… 50 miles with a ferry boat ride, mostly country road
Routes are posted! https://ronsbikesblog.com/2024/10/24/nutmeg-noreaster-2024-final-info/Max
Hope to see you all there, I haven’t decided what I’m gonna run, I have done the NorEaster on a few different bikes, there is no perfect bike or tire for this stuff, your either gonna go down the paved parts like a farm tractor or cringe on the ruff stuff. Just for something different, I may stick to the paved and smooth dirt roads this year. Maybe Sam on 38s or even the Heron on 33s…they are both light enough to hike with if needed…unless I see the routes when posted and go with a more robust bike/tire combo.I also will have a table, come over and say hello…I will have candy and maybe a little whisky?

I was fine on my Sam last year on Ultra Dynamico Cavas I think they were 42s. I did the medium chunky 35 mile ride. This year I'm planning to do the full chonk ride. This being said, my crank and bottom bracket just broke. If I cant get it fixed in time I'll be on my Sam again, which is anything but a terrible situation!
This year is my first year and plan on doing the opposite - riding my Sam which is a new build instead of my tanglefoot. Any reason why you’re switching this year? Is it more of a mtb ride?
I'll be there, rode my Sam last year but this year I plan to use my Tanglefoot.

Re-heading this message:
Thanks, Max; the TBs are now on my “Alternatives to the OR” list.
Next question, to all: What about the Soma Cazadero, in the 622X50 mm size? This gets good reviews, including a “4 thumbs up” by CyclingAbout, tho’ I recall Jan panned it several years ago when — I think — it was made only in the 42 mm size.
What to RBW-listers who have used the Cazadero think about it’s directional stability on deep, loose surfaces (gravel, sand) and its rolling resistance and, especially, how it corners, on pavement?
I think thunderburts strike the perfect balance between on/off road - I run them tubeless without issues at all (no seeping or anything like that at all)
For me (I go slow) they corner very well on pavement and I've taken them through pretty rough New England trails with roots, rocks, etc and they've held up very well with no punctures.
My new Rosco Bubbe build will have endurance knobbie RH but I haven't tried them yet, so can't compare them.

Please forgive the tangent, but can you say how well the Thunderburts roll compared to other similar tires, in particular — a reach, here — to the RH Oracle Ridge?
Also:
Do they corner well on pavement?
Do they hold sealant well — sidewall or bead seep?
How well or badly do they resist punctures?
