Craig,
Thank you for sharing your experience. What pressure did you run them at? I
find that on my Firefly, at 20 psi, the Rat Traps float over gravel like
nothing else, but are almost unrideable on pavement. 25 psi is a good
compromise for rough mixed-surface rides, but they're still no fun on
The Cava's 'knobs' are flush with the casing, which were the ones I was
referring to - the Rosé is as you describe but I agree they won't be as
fast. I have them on my Sam and find them reasonably quick but certainly
slower than the Babyshoes!

Not sure the Ultradynamico is fast rolling on pavement. The knobs are so
widely spaced that the tire is bumping from one knob to the next and the
casing seems stiffer than the RH tires mentioned above. I did a review of
them on the 650B list a while ago:

BTW fellas, just posted my RTP's for sale. Couldn't get used to that
squirminess. Didn't feel right in fully-loaded touring mode. Will let
someone else bounce around on 'em.

Beware that sealants can clog the valves to the point where you can't get
air in, even with a floor pump. I've had this happen, and had to remover
the core and use a wire to unclog the stem, and wash off the core. Perhaps
Orange Seal is worse for this than Stan's; which may be the shadow side of
it
I'm using Orange Seal in mine. I do notice a slight increase in effort
needed to pump them up, but its not bad.

Curious: What sealant? I tried Stan's in tubes in fat tires (50 mm F Freds)
at ~25 psi or so, and found that the pressure insufficient to get the
sealant where it was needed. Same sealant in same tire but tubeless, no
problems at sub 20 psi.
My brother has had the same problems with Orange Seal in
+1 for RTP's! I've been commuting on the black walled EL version since
last October (with a bit of sealant in my tubes) and have had no problems
whatsoever with flats. I like 23 psi front/25 psi back. Every day that I
ride them I experience a renewed sense of appreciation. They're so smooth

*Great*…a
When I saw this post I was excited to come in and share that the Panaracer
Gravel King SK is being made in 26" now, but based on your use and desire
for a quicker-rolling tire, have to agree with everyone else on the RH
tires. I think the Naches Pass are the way to go if you have
standard-widt
If the Rat Trap Passes will fit, there is really nothing else like them. I run
mine at 25psi whether paved, unpaved, loaded, or unloaded (Max rider + gear
weight = 200lbs), and rarely get flats despite soldering on with tubes.
Off-road, 20psi does feel nicer, but has subjected me to pinch flats
I'll second Patrick's recommendation of the Rene Herse/Compass Naches Pass
tires, if you have a 559 All-Rounder.
I've been using these exclusively for my 559 Atlantis since the tire's
introduction, and have nothing but good experiences – they're fast, but not
fragile, and are quite durable to b
In later versions, some of the larger sizes took 700c, but mine sports
26-inch wheels.

Larger size All-Rounders were designed around 700c wheels... like my 65cm
