Currently have them on my 51 Sam. They're a bit loud on pavement but don't really feel that slow, and I certainly don't mind it. They've been great on trails, singletrack and gravel. I'd recommend them. I have also had Snoqualmie Pass' on another bike of mine and they rode s nice.

I had them on my 700c Sam but not tubeless. I still have them and they have very low mileage. If you want them let me know where you live and you can send me postage and try them out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

I have a 18' Hillborne running 43mm Gravel King SKs, set up tubeless on a Velocity Quill wheelset (with SKS fenders!). Great tires, I like the ones with a little extra puncture protection as well. They're good for everything but mud. You could also look at options from WTB, Bontrager (GR1/GR2

I did not run them tubeless. And to be specific it was VO fenders that I couldn’t fit with the RnR’s. And they where indeed loud on pavement. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

I found the Rock n Roads to be more capable in moderate mud and trail than the Gravelking SK. The RnR tread is more like the RH Steilacoom, whereas the SK is probably more akin to a Thunder Burt tread--has a bit of bite, but looses it quicker on the rougher stuff. I'm usually not in a

Gravelking SK for my money—my Rock n Roads looked pretty but were noticeably slower/louder on anything resembling pavement. Reid in Austin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Funnily enough, I'm also thinking about Snoqualmie Pass as an option. Currently on my SimpleOne, I'm riding a pair of tubeless Compass Hurricane Ridges, mounted on Cliffhangers. Can't complain, other than $$$ :) Gotta say, the SimpleOne is amazing, I get the vibe its totally underrated, but,

incredible Is that the 55cm? I take it those are 650b. Room for fenders with that tire? My 1st gen. S.H. take the 700c RnR tires with fenders with just enough room for confidence. On Saturday, January 31, 2015 at 5:04:47 PM UTC-5, Kellie Stapleton wrote:

Advertised as 43mm for the 650b. I think there's room for fenders. I know Rich at RBW Hq has put fenders on with the Rock and Roads; can't remember which model though. On Saturday, January 31, 2015 at 2:31:48 PM UTC-8, jandrews_nyc wrote: incredible Is that the 55cm? I take it those are
