Turbo Vado 650b's , for pavement riding , anyone try Schwalbe Super Moto X ?

Yes....I have the Super Moto X on both my Vado 4.0 and Trek Allant 8s.....love those tires. They ride fast, are sturdy at speed, and coast very very well....you will not be sorry if you buy a set.

Yes, Yes! These tire roll. They really shine on broken pavement. I did get one flat though. It was from a razor sharp piece of stainless steel, sharpened to a point, three inches long and triangular in cross section with sharpened edges.

Sounds like a weapon.

My housemate once stepped on one of these found on a jogging path. It was definitely intended to wound. I guess they were used to slow down invading forces that were on foot.

I have been using an extra heavy duty tire for some applications, Cargo bikes, a six-month tour of Asia, a heavy bike with a 300 pound ridder and a kilowatt mid. The are new and called Pick Ups. They can carry 350 pounds each and are highly puncture resistant, multi-surface and e50 rated.
This just happened:
A lady noticed that some derailleur screws were not locked down all the way, so took proactive remedial action.

Thanks , good photo of a good-lookin' bike . Have you ridden the Pathfinder Sport ? Are these quieter ?
I'd probably get the whitewall version .

With 27.5" wheels you might try Schwalbe Johnny Watts as well. Totally quiet on the pavement, great grip off-road.

Not totally quiet but I rarely notice what little noise they do create.
