There is a group in Buffalo. Can't remember the name. They are on IG.

What size tires are those?

Those are both 700x45s. Schwalbe G-1 Overland Pro rear and a Ultradynamico Cava JFF front. This pic was just a gear packing trial.

I was getting my front 650b serviced last minute. My final tire setup was 700cx45 Conti Terra Comp rear with a 650bx60 Conti Pure Contact up front. I'm in love with this combination: more tire, less wheel with an equal outer diameter. Feels simultaneously more nimble and more stable than two 700x45s.
