Hey Group,

I've gone through some recent tire-experiments and finalized the tires I'd like to use for my Appaloosa. If you want multiple things, I can combine and save some money on shipping. Photos Here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/D4YDUqGTy17v8PLP7

650x40 Teravail Cannonball Light&Supple Tan: Used these for about 300-ish miles on a single speed gravel bike back at the start of the pandemic. No gashes, etc. almost no wear at all on the tread. It's a great set of tires for a more off-road focused Homer or hillborne, measured at 39mm on A23 rims $70 Shipped. 

650x50 Soma Cazaderos: These were a crash replacement for an identical set of tires that I have since repaired with super glue and dental floss. I don't have room to hold onto these, sadly. They roll quitely on pavement and provide good traction on the loose stuff. $80 Shipped. 

650x47 WTB Horizons (TCS tanwall): Got these from another list member and set them up tubeless - went on a 50 mile ride, but they didn't quite work for me. They measure right on 47mm on cliffhangers. $60 Shipped.

Nitto Technomic Delux Stem, 90mm stem length 26.0 clamp diam: It has some markings on the quill, but still in good condition. I also have the 25.4 to 26.0 shims that I can throw in for another $10 if interested. $40 shipped

IRD Scramjet BB (black): This is a shimano hollowtech II compatible BB. Can be used on both a 73 or 68 shell thanks to the telescoping center. Used for about 300-ish road miles in fair weather, but has some marring on the teeth during install/removal. $30 shipped.

I plan to ship USPS, but given the overwhelmed shipping system right now, expect delivery to take a bit longer than normal.

Cheers,
Collin, it finally rained, in Sacramento

WTB Tires are off and away.

Soma Cazadero, Teravail cannonballs and a swanky IRD BB are still available.

Thanks,

Which tires did you decide worked the best for your bike and riding style.

Paul,

I ended up with some schwalbe g-one all rounds (27.5x2.25) for riding around during the summer/dry months and the soma cazaderos (27.5x2) for winter. The dirt here can get a little sticky when it gets wet and I need a bit more clearance to avoid unwanted paint rub. Both tires roll incredibly well (quiet) on pavement when the pressure is set just right.

The Cazaderos are gonezos. 

Just the IRD BB and the 650x40 cannonballs left...again, a great set of tires for a country-style Hillborne or AHH

Stay Safe,
Collin, Its gonna rain, in Sacramento
