Had to replaced my Bon Jon EL 35mm's with the Steilacoom 38's when i had a sidewall blow out.
This tire was made for this bike. Fits so perfectly in the frame, with just enough space between the chainstays! All other gravel tires I've tried so far were either too tight or had too much precious space left over. Bon Jon's were faster on the road, but I'm thinking that's the EL casing. These are standard casing... you don't feel the knobbies that much... barely.. you hear the wind whistle and you hear them gripping more really. On the plus side they tear through gravel and dirt really well. Very confidence inspiring. Unlike the BJP's where you chose your lines more carefully in order to float on top of gravel rather than cut in. That's my first impression anyways... lets see how they hold up!

Thanks! A little reminder of home.
 . Heard there’s some great gravel rides outside of Tucson at Reddington pass. On the list along with portions of the AZ trail of course!

Was thinking you might like these Steilacoom tires! Giving tubeless another go! Realized the not so great experiences I had running sector 28mm tubeless wasn’t a fair measure of the technology. Last edited by Duende; 04-23-2019 at 09:35 PM.

Parlee Chebacco from Clean39. I got this as a placeholder while awaiting my line in a custom cue, but it may be a keeper. Feels great! I'll repeat the gist of my custom post, my 8-year-old calls the bar tape tacky, and I know all the oranges don't quite match, but I have not been shot by hunters yet. Much lighter than the drop bar 29er I've been riding on these roads, but I still struggle to keep up on climbs with my neighbor who I introduced to biking two years ago, he's ten years younger and 20 lbs. lighter than me, I should choose who I introduce to biking more carefully.

You can get different than that, but I don't know that you'll get much better than that.

Picked up this checkpoint a couple months ago. Gutted my Trek Crockett and swapped over all components. Wheels arrived the other day to finish the build. Farsports 35 deep, 28 wide clinchers 1363g. I must admit this bike flies on the road, didn't hold me back on the Thursday night group ride. Off-road it's equally as good with bontrager gr1 40c tires mounted and the isospeed. Geometry and handling is spot on. As it sits with 25c tires it comes in at 15.9lbs.

This is my Routt 45 (Thanks, Billy!) at the Thomasville Georgia Clay Road Classic.
I've gone to 650B WTB Byways to deal with the sand and loose dirt we have on our local roads...highly recommended for the Southeast. Yes, I know it's the wrong side of the bike for photos. C'est la vie. It's Ultegra Di2.
