Pasela PT

Well I would say that a set of paselas would feel noticeably slower than what you’re riding now, but if you’re using tire liners, that likely won’t be the case. So the paselas would be a good and affordable choice. Just for clarification, when you say ‘flats’, what type of flat are you trying to prevent? I know what tire liners are for, but do you get a lot of punctures, or are pinch flats your biggest issue? A lot of people confuse these as being something that can be solved the same way, and I want to avoid giving useless advice. The paselas are decent tires, but won’t stop pinch flats any better than anything else.

Honest question, for the cost of jack browns, why did you choose them over say compass? Also, for useless FYI, my 32mm gravelkings only weigh 10g more than these.

well for that price, it’s hard to argue. That’s considerably less than the normal price. I don’t know if they are rebranded, I thought they were designed by Rivendell. I don’t think you would have had an issue with the paselas tread, unless you’re dealing with literally mm clearences, but maybe that’s the case. You can never go wrong with anything Panaracer, regardless of who’s name is on them. Anyway, thanks for the explenation.

They also have a new/takeoff pair of Pasela Tourguard in 23 -- good deal, too skinny for my liking though.

Maybe one day in the future when I have a "weekend speeder" bike ill throw those on it. I'm just looking for tan walls that aren't so prone to flats. My Aventon Cordoba only fits 25c tires so "supple" isn't really a thing for me unfortunately. Even though I'm riding 23c tires right now and 25c compared is a big difference. (Waiting for my current tires to wear down to get new 25c tires. My LBS had a bogo deal on the conti grand prix 4000s II when the 5000s came out.

Panaracer Gravel Kings in 28 also run narrow, though I'm not sure if they offer a tan wall. These Panaracer 28's are really designed for bikes that normally won't take a 28. I think Conti did everyone a huge disservice by making their GP 4000II's in 28 mm so wide (30 mm?). After trying them on several of my road bikes, I was sure I'd never be able to run any 28's, but the Panaracers fit all of my 80's and 90's road bikes just fine. :)
