Howdy all,
I'm currently looking at getting a new pair of mixed surface tires for my
Clem H for general trail riding/offroad touring that don't feel excessively
slow and boat-like when I am on the pavement on the way to the trailhead
(sometimes 30 miles away). Currently I have some WTB riddlers
Collin, no matter what you end up deciding, you owe it to yourself to start
with the widest Compas tires that fit (Switchback Hill for 650b), as Compass is
the benchmark for plush and smooth and fast ride. If you end up needing more
flat protection due to thorns, try adding Orange sealant to you
I meant to add that for my Hunqapillar I prefer the Thunderburt LiteSkin 2.1”
(2.25 is great if they fit and you want/need the width) for increased grip on
trails. Why LiteSkin? Because they are the closest thing to Compass tires for
plushness.
With abandon,
Patrick

The WTB Riddler sounds perfecto. Go for a long ride!

Two big thumbs up for Thunderburts, have them on a couple bikes. They are
great all-rounders and you can get them with some pretty advanced puncture
protection (light, yet effective)

Soma Cazadero come in 700x50, so they're close but not quite as big as what
you're looking at. They'll fit your Clem just fine and handle great on loose
stuff and gravel. They're also solid on pavement. They corner well which some
nobbies don't, and the raised center means a pretty quiet ride
You might want to try the Rock n’ Road tires. I make them in 650b x 43 both
Skinwall and Blackwall. That is what they are made for -

I’ll second Bruce on that suggestion. Not as big as the ones you have listed
but great tires. I have a set in the garage that you could borrow to test out
if you want.
I am in San Rafael but head to the east bay fairly often. Probably heading over
this weekend. PM me if you want to try and mee
Thanks for the input so far, hopefully this is not a too common of a thread
that keeps popping up. In regards to the compass tires, it looks like they
have a very similar design to the rock n road with their "pumpkin ridge."
Any thoughts on how those 2 compare?

For my mixed surface riding, I've used:
1. Schwalbe Thunder Burt
2. Bruce Gordon Rock n' Road
3. Panaracer Gravel King SK
My mixed surface riding includes:
1. Urban roads of varying condition in the Washington DC Metro area
2. Smooth hard packed trails
3. Rough graveled and pocked/rutted trails
I’ve never tried the Compass offerings, but I just went on a 200 mile gravel
and forest road tour on 27.5x2.25 Thunder Burts, and they are
awesome—fast-rolling, enough grip, no flats. I was running them tubeless,
though, so the no flats part was expected.

Timothy,
It was in Vermont! I wish Maryland had enough contiguous dirt roads that I
could piece together 200 miles on them!
