[RBW] Thin Tires on a Hunqapillar
Kevin - I've gone from Dureme 50s to Jack Brown 33s to Clement MSO 40s. I just built a wheel set with tubeless Thunder Burt 54s for a long gravel ride. My favorites have been the Clements (so far - no time on the Burts yet). They are light, nice on road, and have done very well on dry single track. No flats, either, but that must be attributed mostly to luck. I went with wider tires for the upcoming ride mainly for better comfort. The Burts are a similar weight, as well, so just bonus float. I also have several other faster bikes if I need to feel lighter. Thoughts on lighter Hunqapillar build found here: http://stonehog.com/2013/01/27/lighten-it-up/ Pics of Clements: http://stonehog.com/2013/10/16/hunqlightfilmtest/ Some may say I've gone full circle if the Burts stay on for the long term.

I used Conti contacts and marathon Dureme, both were 38-4mm, before switching to 50 mm Big Ben. I think the Big Ben are faster as well as more versatile. Something like a 35mm Pasela might be interesting, buyIng wouldn't want anything narrower. Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Thin Tires on a Hunqapillar
I read a piece on the Internet a couple of days ago in which the author swapped the 50-something tires on his Hunq for 38s or 40s. He wasn't into single-tracking and was trying to make the bike into a better (read faster) commuter. Has anyone in the Group tried the thin tire route on a Hunq and, if so, what were your impressions? All the best, Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
