them on my CX bike, which has Mavic Open Pro rims. I'll report back in a
few days after I get a couple of rides in. They'll be replacing
Hey, I just wanted to add my $.05.
I've been riding Barlow Pass on my 64cm Atlantis for as long as they've
been available. Great tires. Love the ride.
I've been a Jack Brown guy. Also a GB Cypres guy. I have Marathon Supremes
mounted on a spare wheelset, but I just hate the ride; too dead.
That was supposed to read Hetres or Babyshoe Pass need 50mm fenders
minimum IMO
The LoupLoups work fine with P45s, I am running that setup myself.

I think that eggplant looks great...and as a long-time moustache rider ,
I'm interested in your experince with the Albas...and I know that Patrick
Deacon likes them a lot, too. So I'm thinking of those for the mixte I've
planned

no , it doesn't and I believe the drop is deeper. I have them on my road
and have to admit I don't spend a lot of time down on the drops...mostly on
the hoods...and thank you TRP for that or on the tops

Well OK... Just don't let it happen again *(unless it's something really
cool like these woody fenders)...*

If you want dynamo and less than $200, here's a new set (from Germany, $23
shipping)

XT Trekking hubs (dynamo front), Mavic 319 rims, 32 holes, butted spokes.
+1 on the Keens. Keen Newports and Newport H2's are really nice. Comfy
walking, waterproof for stream crossings and a step better than sneakers
when riding (IMHO). The toe protection is what I particularly like when
riding. The idea of scraping a toe as Leslie recounted sounds painful.
