Justin,
Marathon Supremes would be my personal rec. after trying them on my
SimpleOne. The 42-622/700x40C model left room for fenders when mounted
on Open Pros - though I never did install fenders with them. They're
495g each, but designed to be as little tank-y as a Schwalbe tire that
will last f
Those look like great tires! Downsized Grifos.

Have the Duremes on my SimpleOne and there is ample room. Have been
thinking about buying a set of Rock n' Roads for the bike. Don't see why
they shouldn't fit, although it may be a challenge under the Berthoud
fenders currently on the bikes.

David's tire suggestions are exactly what I would have counseled.
It's interesting that the Challenge site doesn't list the Eroica anymore.
That'd be a shame if they stopped making them — they are wonderful tires!
However, it looks like they've introduced another "gravel" racing tire: the

If a 700x50 tire fits with a little clearance - then our 700x43 Rock'n Road
tire should fit no problem.
I apologize that I'm not familiar with all the Rivendell models. Here is a
link to my blog page that has all the dimensions-

If so, then a really short product run. They just came out last year. Glad
I picked up a pair, although hope they aren't as delicate as you found the
PR to be. If so, back to Jack Brown!
FYI, here are some for sale, possibly get 'em while you can:

I'm not sure they're still available anymore. I checked Challenge's web

I love the Grand Bois Cypres 700x32. Very cushy ride and I have not had any
durability issues.

I'm not sure Rock 'n Roads will fit on a Quickbeam or SimpleOne. Someone
here was selling a pair they really liked, but couldn't make work with a
Quickbeam. I for one wish they fit easily.

Challenge Eroica is a 30mm tire. I have a set waiting to be installed when
my Jack Browns wear down.
Grand Bois Cypres is a 32mm tire. Very supple and fast. Amazingly so. But
too delicate for my needs. I had problems with them..
Challenge Grifo XS is 32mm. Slight knob/pattern. No experience, but

My first foray into the world of supple(r) tires (after trying a few different
breeds of Marathons) is with the 35c Soma New XPress tires. They feel good to
me and I run them at 65-70psi or thereabouts. They're folders as well, which is
a nice touch. 35c in the Soma is noticeably bigger than 35c
Let me urge upon y'all that as porky as the Big Apples undoubtedly are (I
don't bother with the nasty, skinny 50s. The 60s I have are the LiteSkin
model at a svelte 800 gr) they do roll very well for their heft even at
absurdly low pressures.

Hey folks
Just wondering what the general consensus is for the best combination of fat
and supple tires for 700c. I currently have Pasela 32c on it but would like a
bit more cush if I can get it while not going full on Schwalbe tank.
Thanks!
