[RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad
Received and put on my new-to-me pre-broken in Barlow Pass tires on the Quickbeam and rode some dirt yesterday and an 8 mile paved backroad today (all in 40/16, co not too vertical at 500 ft. drop over 4 miles so 2% average grade). No wind, so pretty easy to compare with other rides on the Clement MSO's. Initial impressions: Wow. Fast. Smooth. Fun. Quiet. Wow. This was also my general response to the MSO's when I first road them, in comparison to the 2.25 Smart Sams on the Hunqapillar. The difference is that much more yet again. Heading down, I maxed out my gear a lot more and so coasted a lot more. I held speed on the rolling climbs far better and longer. There is a steep climb to get to Holy Rosary Chapel (my destination) that I enter into as fast as I can and see hot for up I need to stand to make it. I didn't need to stand. I coasted into the parking lot having world a lot less hard to get up the hill. I'm stunned at the difference. If there is a noticeable difference in flats and descents, it's even more on the climbs. Returning home I was mostly spinning in the slowly spinning speed, faster than the typical easy end of hard pushing speed (if that makes any sense). Dirt: will learn a lot more on longer rides, but handles the loose bits close to as well as the MSO's which surprised me. Not as much confidence in the curves, but surprisingly confident. I'm also a bit more timid in the gravel curves due to a tumble that cracked a rib and hyperextended all the toes on my right foot, so that could easily be me. I do not use a computer or time my rides, so I can only go by these observations of semi-objective data points (due to the single speed and the only thing changing is the tires). But I love these tires so far and look forward to taking them on a longer ride once my cracked rib heals up).

Glad you enjoyed the ride, Patrick. I tried Grand Bois Lierre tires (also 38mm) when I did the 650b conversion on my Riv Road, and I love the mix of speed and comfort they provide. I've been riding them on gravel a lot lately, and they're just fantastic. I plan on trying the Loup Loup pass tires when I wear out the Lierres. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Chris, I have not measured them and do not have calipers to measure with. My front rim is a Mavic OpenSport 15mm for reference. I'm running them at 40psi. Tey're likely under 38mm due to the narrow rim. With abandon, Patrick On Wednesday, May 28, 2014 4:14:12 PM UTC-6, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: Have you measured their actual width?

Re: [RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad
Chipping in: I put the 700x32 Compass tires on a few weekends ago. Pumped them up to about 70-75 psi and took them on a couple of rides. I really liked the feel and cornering. But I was coming from a handful of years spent on Hetres, Lierres, B-lines, and Col de la Vies. So I was worried I was sacrificing some cush in trying out this whole 700c thing. This morning I let out some air to get them to 50 psi. Cush achieved! Glad I hadn't wasted my time cobbling together my first 700c bike. It's making me think there's a light and lively 700c sportif somewhere in my future.

I had 34mm Michelin Dynamics that measured closer to 35's on my Rambly for a while--they were great but there wasn't much room for more rubber.

[RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad
It's amazing how much of tire making remains a black art. The manufacturers really don't know exactly how wide the tire will be when it comes out of the mold. However, the size needs to be engraved in the mold before the first tire is made... So the Barlow Pass measures about 36-37 mm, depending on your rim width, after it has stretched some. Since so many riders try to cram the largest tire possible into their frames, we also need to err on the side of caution when giving tire widths. If our 38 measured 39 mm, we'd get lots of returns: Doesn't fit my bike. It also seems that everybody measures tire width differently. If you simply squeeze a caliper closed until you touch the tire sidewalls, you compress the tire. With supple sidewalls, you easily get a millimeters less than the actual width. The most accurate way to measure is by iteratively closing the calipers, 1 mm at a time. Start with 38 mm, see whether it rattles when you wiggle it. If it does, go to 37 mm, and so on. The last measurement where the caliper has some play is the tire width. If you compress the tire as you measure, you might find that a tire that should fit inside your frame does rub. (Ideally, you'll have so much clearance that two millimeters don't make a difference.) I no longer worry about a millimeter or two in width, but focus on the ride. I find that a great 30 mm tire rides so much more comfortably than a mediocre 35 mm tire. Width really matters only when comparing two otherwise identical tires.

[RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad
Mine are 36.6mm after a couple days of just sitting with air. The front is on an A23 and rear on a Synergy. I took them out today for the first ride after getting the new, bigger fenders (zeppelin 52s) on last night. I like the feel of the bike with these, though I've changed up the Hilsen quite a bit in switching from the Cypres to the Barlows. No more front rack or front load of any kind. It now feels so damn light I could do wheelies all day :) Back to the tires - I want to take them on a long ride before I give any kind of verdict, but they felt a bit firmer than the Hetre Extra Legers on my other current ride, although I'm going to chalk that up to the super firm Brooks Pro saddle on this (other bike is a soft S-A). They are pumped at 45 rear, 35 front (I weigh about 160). I may drop the pressure a tad - I'm putting the Hetres around 40 rear and 30 front for comparison. These are some light tires! They felt much lighter in the bag than my Hetres, and they roll just as well, if not faster. I've had them on a half-mile of dirt/gravel path on the commute, and they gripped as well as any of the low pressure not-much-tread tires I've tried. The real test there is to take them at speed down hill on gravel. Perhaps next weekend...

Re: [RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad
I wouldn't worry too much just yet. Rim width will play a part, but as Chris alluded to, they'll stretch out some. I have the 700x32mm Compass tires and they went from ~30 to a bit more than 32 in a day.

Schwalbe 42's that measure 37 (or 35's that are 33's) and now this? I really want to love these tires and am looking forward to hearing ride reports on them, as well as sure word on the actual size.
