Takahashi,
That is an interesting comparison. Like you, I am surprised that our Barlow
Pass tires weren't super-fast. At first, I thought about why this could
be... until I realized that you did only one run with each tire. You
mention that yours isn't a detailed study, and you are right. It wo

I'm not a framebuilder, but my Riv Road was built with four different kinds
of Reynolds tubing and a Vitus downtube in 1999.

I thought this was fascinating. would love to hear framebuilders chime in.
I would think rider weight would be a significant factor.

Yes, the Hetres are very nice tires. They roll well, are comfortable, and
even appear fairly puncture resistant. Maybe they are slightly overkill for
my Wilbury since it's mostly used for short, leisurely journeys, but I'm
glad that they are on my Wilbury.
A little hint if you don't know alread
Curious, I'm running a 9-speed and get all the way through them without
adjusting my CX-70. I use the penny - clearing a penny all the way around

On my Atlantis with a 44 tooth big ring there is at least 1/4" between the

Thanks for taking the trouble to test, record & post your findings. The
impressions are especially helpful. Oftentimes I find the subjective feel
of how a tire rides & handles to be an important factor in my perception of
the performance of the tire. Good stuff.

Normally, when I set up a front derailleur I follow Shimano's
recommendation about having 1-2mm of clearance between the large chainring
and the derailleur cage. This has always worked will for me, resulting in
crisp shifting. Since building up my Sam Hillborne back in June I've been
running
Thanks Andrew

Hi.
I've got the 42mm Hetre on my Wilbury.
Squeezed under 46mm Honjo hammered fenders.
Love 'em.
I've almost worn out the rear tire in approx. 3000km of commuting.
No flats!
Great tires. Going for the White on Tan next order, as the Red ones are out of
stock last time I looked.
Best...
I'm not sure if I will be in town on that date, but if I am, I would love
to attend.
I think the ride from DC to Gravel and Grind, if it were round trip, would
approach if not surpass a century(!), no?
Another option could be to look into some of the nearby loops in and around
Frederick, and
About 83cm near the midpoint.

+1 on the 42cm Hetres and SKS fenders. Great combo, great tire.

Nice experiment. I'm surprised that the Mondial and Barlow Pass numbers
were so close. Like you, I always thought of my Mondials as a pretty slow,
heavy tire. The Barlow Pass Extralights felt light as the air inside them
in comparison. I would recommend the extralights. I've ridden them for
Clayton. If they stop making suspension posts you could try a sprung saddle.

That's very helpful. I have a couple of Hetres in the cart on Jan Heine's

Awesome write up! That is allot of tire swapping and it is very interesting.
The comments section in particular is really useful to me.

FWIW, I've got about 1500 miles on my Furious Freds and the rear knoblets
