After seeing Kroozer's post, I looked online, saw those, also Kenda K161 among others. Cheap compared to the Conti GP5000's I've been buying, how is the quality? Perhaps on gravel I should not obsess about rolling resistance.



But at least I can try out graveling without the expense of having the hubs replaced to new rims first... and defer that cost. I am guessing as the years go by the choices in 27" will fade, forcing the issue (it's like trying to find decent 205/60-13 car tires today, nobody uses them)

michelin protek 27 x 1 and 1/4 run wide and measure 1 and 3/8 on my rims. Other BF posters have similar observations. Plus they’re decent tires that have some flat protection.
