Michael, The Roly-Poly is a very nice tire, but for me it feels sluggish and slow in comparison. I actually had a better experience with the Ruffy Tuffy than the Roly-Poly. The Grand Bois Cerf has become my favorite tire. The green label on a set of Hed wheels actually measures 29C and is a nice round tire that feels incredible sure footed when cornering. I had a set of 26C Cerfs on my Davidson (doesn't really fit the 28C ones) and the 28C on my Calfee Tetra Pro Adventure. I've tried the Parigi-Roubaix, but like the Cerf better. If flat resistance is factor, you may want to read up on that. Some have reported problems, but I've had very few issues. Hope that helps, Joe

That is helpful. The blog is almost two years old now; do you still feel the same. Have you ever ridden the Roly-Poly and could you compare the two?

The store lists them as 28mm, the web site as 29, and I have heard they run a little large. Can anyone tell me what they actually measure? I would be putting them on Open Pro rims.
