I was close to buying a set of 40 mm Duremes for my AHH but will await
the Little Big Ben. I wonder about the difference between the two tire
types, aside from cost.

Anything over 40mm and I would feel like I am on a dirt bike.
Have you actually tried a Hetre?

Not yet.
I have been thinking about getting them for long rides. Maybe that will
convince me. I know I will enjoy the speed of them.
I am not saying I don't believe what everyone is saying about them being
an almost punctureless tire. I just have to expand my comfort level I guess.
There is no such thing as a punctureless tire, why ride around on some
belted, heavy tires unless you have to though? I think alot of that market
is people who think they have to ride those tires or else. If you are in
goathead counrty is one thing but for most of a flat every now and then

True. Hopefully RBW will post the actual measurements of each tire. I'll
bet Lil Ben runs somewhere around 37-38mm which
They look nice, and a set of 700x40 might get on one of the bikes next
year. Right now, the SimpleOne has the Duremes and have no interest in
changing them out. Anyway, that bike is inside for the winter. No reason to
experiment with tires now.

Yes, they're real good at posting actual width. Shame the manufacturer
couldn't do the same! A true 40mm tire would be pretty nice!

Riv site has a photo up of the Big Ben in 55mm size, shows it measures
52.5mm. I'll be the the 50 measures around 47-48. The 50 mm Durene
measures about that. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/tben.htm

The actual width can vary considerably with the width of the rim. The
550X1.35s (34+) on narrow Sun M14 rims measure 32; 622X35s on 27 mm
Sun Rhyno Lites measure 35; 60mm BA Liteskins on SnoCat SLs measure
61. 622X55 Weirwolfs on ditto measure the same 61.

The close up of the tread looks like Hunqa grey. The profile bike is one
of the prototype Rosco Bubbe, Bosco Rubbe.

Riv is also good at mentioning what rim width was used for the
measurement. That makes a difference. On my Mavic A-719 rims, Schwalbe's
40 mm Marathon Supreme measures 40 mm, while the 50 mm measures 46 mm. I
currently have a 45 mm Marathon Plus that measures 44 mm. All at 60 psi.

Why can't Schwalbe make a puncture protected 650b tire that weighs less
than 500g?!?!?!?
I tried 3 Nifty Swiftys at ~400g. But the sides split on all three within
the 1st 500 miles, so I hesitate to buy anything Panaracer. Though I think
skinwalls are friendlier looking than blackwalls.
A
Little ben in a 650b would be nice.
I also hope the new, lighter Marathon Deluxe comes out in a 650b.

No 650B is a 'killer bummer' as they say. But I do have a mondo clearance
26 bike that these would look great on.
