For what it’s worth, just completed a week on the Empire State Trail on the 83 Davidson shod with RH 35’s mounted on Mavic Open Pro rims, so mounted up at 34.8mm. Spent a month running them in, maybe 1000 miles on mixed pave’ and gravel track, fully loaded (prolly 48 pounds plus me at 195).
285 miles in 4 and a half days, full day of hard rain, high temps, high humidity, brutal on the body but no issues with the tires. Lovely compliant ride, good roll and glide, very quiet, nice ‘thump thump’ over the rough stuff (pls note that the EST surface ranges from loose large gravel to packed limestone to grass to single and double track, with more of it paved toward the Albany area). I’m sold. Nice tires. |

Wrong thread #2:
Started off with black extralights in a couple or so sizes four? years back. Ran them for three years on hookless carbon rims with zero issues. Put on some fat endurance-casing a few months back. Zero issues. More weight obviously, but I find them still bouncy/plush enough. Don't worry as much when ploughing across rougher stuff vs extralights. Always used Orange Seal Endurance. Hoping Jan comes out with a 29x2.6 filetread next, to fit the new frameset. |

Given the obviously mixed experience with these tires (I love ‘em, but should note I don’t run tubeless), this long-running thread should either be re-titled or locked IMO.
