Yeah, well used to paying more in the Great White North, but I really don't like it lol

Just found this very informative Youtube video explaining why graphene in Vittoria's 4C formulation

lol I just checked this out on amazon, more than twice the price at amazon.ca (not accounting for foreign exchange)

well, it's only one of many in their lineup, and a million other brands, so I guess Terreno Dry is not in your range of choices...

point taken

I think it's a possibility... none of the diameters involved represent the true numbers, on the Schwalbe website, all their sizes are listed as 700 or 650, so the tire that is marketed as 29" will fit on a 700 rim, and in the real world of measurement, 27.5"=698.5mm... pretty close in my book...

I compromised and lowered my seat a little, didn't feel secure being so top heavy... considering getting a drop post but this isn't bad, especially since pedalling is more or less optional now, and one doesn't need to be as efficient.

That is exactly right... I really don't need alot of off-road traction, and just feel like response on pavement or cement is sluggish, it's harder to propel without PAS, plus I also want to save weight where I can by using a narrower (29 x 2.10) size with lower profile. What actually bothers me...

It is loud and pretty sensitive, but on a bike like this unlikely to be set off by wind... big trucks rumbling by, well that's different. I replaced the quick release seat post clamp with a bolt-on (I could imagine someone just removing the seat and throwing it in the bushes lol). Of course it's...

I ground mine off with a dremel tool to make room for my alam/bell/taillight.

FYI it's only the left lever on UK or AU bikes, most of the world uses the right lever for the back brakes, wherever you live, it's the lever for the rear brake that needs the inhibitor. I've got a plus, so not an issue for me...

conversely, the tires marketed as 29 x 2.10 or 2.25 should fit on a 27.5 rim, to answer the OP's question. I understand what the article says, just think they should call things what they are, not confuse us with inaccuracies.

The error isn't mine, it's the vagaries of manufacturers' nomenclature...

ok, there's a 650 Ok, there's a 650 x 47C on the list, I just did the conversion and came up with ~26"...

I wasn't aware they don't come in 27.5, I can't imagine why... I did see a 26 at their site, (https://www.vittoria.com/us/en/tires/gravel-cross/terreno-dry) so maybe one of the 700 sizes will fit a 27.5 rim- wheel and tire sizes are weird these days... Graphene is one of those catchwords that...
