Shopping for tires is exhausting. I said I'd decided, but I lied. 🙃
https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/ is pretty handy, but they don't
tell you how durable tires are and the puncture tests, while handy, don't
always seem to reflect real-world experience.
In the end I want a tubeless tire t
Thanks everyone! Seems like I'll probably go Gravelking Slick non-plus. The
price is nicer, too.
I'll read up on Cavas, though. Thanks David and Johnny.
Patrick, I haven't used ultra-light Rene Herse, but my standard-casing
knobby 26x2.3 Rene Herse tires do weep through the sidewalls. Not ter
My 64cm Homer frameset is being delivered tomorrow and I wonder if you all
can suggest some tires.

You might want to compare the stack and reach of your bikes with the Susie,
but you'll need to be careful. If you've added a lot of headset spacers (or
a long quill stem) to your bikes to get them upright, that'll effectively
increase their stack and decrease their reach (because of the angle of

Thanks Jim! I'll have to ask around to see if I can try some. Maybe I
should switch my Microshift 9-speed shifter to friction to test the waters
in the mean time.
Glen, I used to use rapid fire, but really like how compact and simple
thumb shifters are. When my 11-speed commuter ghost shifts,
I'll be building up one of the new Susies (in green) soon and I'm *debating

I'll be setting up
- 9-speed Shimano RD (RD-M952)
- Triple Shimano FD (FD-M953) on a Silver Wide-low double
- Inside-mount thumb shifters on Sim Works (Nitto)
