Re: [RBW] Re: 48mm tire choice?

[Tom Wyland]

Yes, thanks everyone. I'll give the "high end" RH tires a try this go
around.  I'm a fan of Schwalbe so those will likely be my second go-round.
I've tried Big Bens and Schwalbe Marathon HS in the past as well.  I'm not
sure I'm sold on *suppleness *yet. The good news is the Platy already soaks
up lots of road vibration.

I just did this entire exercise in my head this week:  * Need 1 new 42mm
tire > replace both tires > get bigger tires 48mm > get bigger fenders to
fit tires > upgrade fender-mounted tailight? > upgrade wheels*?!

Good morning all. Looks like Tom is going to give the Hatchers a try. 
Thanks for everyone else's interest.

Soma Cazadero comes in 700x50 but I have seen it on Platty and Sam's so I 
think it fits like a 48.

I have the WTB Horizon in 47c on my Black Mountain Road+ and like them for 
90%+ pavement.  They also have the Byway if you want slightly knobby.  Half 
the price (maybe not now) of Rene Herse, YMMV.   Difficult to mount and 
unmount, however.  I'm running with tubes.

Hi Tom. I have a set of  RH Hatcher Pass 700/48 that I'd be willing to sell 
for $100 plus shipping if you're interested. They were on my Platy for a 
short bit. They have some Stan's residue on them but otherwise almost new. 
I loved them but don't have a use for them at this time and no future 
plans. Let me know if you have any interest.

I like the Bruce Gordon Rock ‘n Road 43 and they make a 48 too.

I have multiple bikes with RH tires I commute on and have had few flats and 
no durability issues. I have one pair that are old enough they say 
"Compass" on the side and still have life left (I think they changed 
Compass->RH in 2019?). Just my experience, but they ride great and last 
years.

[Tom Wyland]

Tom P - Are the Schwalbe G one Speed 700x48 tires really 50-622 ERTO?  I 
don't see 700x48 as a choice for those. What is their actual width? I'm 
wondering what I can fit on my fendered Platypus.

Thanks,
Tom W
