    Bike closer to together now.
    Easy room to accommodate 35mm.
    Pretty happy, just ignorance of tubeless bicycle tyres has me stunned.

    Currently I use maxxis refuse 28 and I find them fantastic. Tubed with tuff liner.

    I didn’t realize I could fit wider tyres until about 10minutes ago with a visual. Rougher roads should be ok soon. 🙂
    Any recommendations please? I’ve read past threads and couldn’t resight yet remember g-ones being liked. Just wanting an easy reliable tyre that doesn’t feel like mud when the road is dry.

    I’ll only use tubeless on a mountain bike, the advantages of being able to run with low pressures, and not get pinches are far more noticeable / worthwhile on a rocky XC type ride, in my experience. I tried a ( relatively) high pressure, tubeless set up on a road bike, and the advantages of no tube ( nothing to pinch flat, low inertia / weight) was almost instantly countered by an intrusion puncture, which led to a very messy, relatively difficult roadside fix. And unlike a XC Ride, I was not close enough to a place where I could either sort it easily, or abandon the ride and not be inconvenienced (I tend not to stray as  far from a car / means of transport, on a typical XC ride).

    Finally rode the bike. Being a bit of an idiot, I think I talled her up too much. Slight buckle in rear brings the 38 to near or a just touch on a stay.
    But overall, being a bloke that averages 20kmph on a similar road bike, with this bike being about 3kg lighter I think I’m going to much prefer the tyre width. She opens up better on the rough short cuts rather than take it up the back on the bumpy crack track.
    When these wear out I’m definitely going another fat set because at my speeds they ain’t slower (lol) . More effort probably what I meant.

    Found that. I generally believe with 5000km.
    ‘Session ‘ is a lovely slower tyre I’ve used and although 28mm the tyre held a lot of volume. On/off same bike 10 years no tyre change, the rims are stuffed now (will work just not as reliable as non worn equipment), I think that’s about 5000km worth of riding and there’s plenty of tread remaining on rear that was often supporting me and a 30kg backpack. Front was a Kenda 23mm and that’s stuffed in the bin; missing too many chunks. I don’t think Session are produced nowadays.

    Even though a frame or fork has loads of room to take large tyres it doesn’t mean the wheels are suitable.  Something like a 35mm tyre on a 15mm wide rim is asking for trouble.  Just saying.

    Note: not adding heavy thick strips these tyres but not riding through thorn weeds now neither. After speaking with LBS and noting they roll tubes I’m continuing with tubes too. It’s cheaper with me and reliability remains high enough.

    The 28mm refuse should get 5000km. I don’t know exactly. The speedometer is like a novelty here, if I have 2 spare hours I route 30-60km (+-an hour)
    Refuse pretty good in sense that they kept up although the casing was worn through.
    Hence at 100km weekly, my guess 1 year.
    With 38mom I yet to roll, chain shortens this Sunday. I hope about same but last time I had big tyres I cut thick strips of rubber as liners and that tyre just about split into two pieces from wear. I guess a year at 100km weekly hence you beauty, hopefully anyhow.

    Thanks for writing such a detailed response to my question, and posting it two weeks ago, and making it freely available to anyone with access to google…

    G-One Speeds are now

    G-One Speeds are now available in 35mm and 38mm widths as well.

    Less thread than G-One Allround, added V-guard puncture protection and similar LOW rolling resistance. 

    Personally I find G-Ones Allrounds (tubeless setup) prone to punctures from tiny flints and stones that cut through the casing. The cheaper performance version may be more robust, though.

    Compass Bon Jon Pass

    Compass Bon Jon Pass Extralight.

    When my G-Ones wear out I will replace them with these. Quite spendy but the reviews are uniformly excellent, also the 5th fastest tyre (of any type) in the world.

    Schwalbe almotion apparently

    Schwalbe almotion apparently is the snizz, heavier than most but rolls better than the leading tyre in that type the vittoria voyager hyper. It’s about 38mm wide give or take.

    I use gravel king SK 32mm set

    I use gravel king SK 32mm set up tubeless on some 23mm internal width rims. They measure 34-35mm and have been fast and comfortable for road/path riding – wider rims make a big difference. I assume the smooth ones Thelma mentioned might seem a bit faster but these have been great for winter riding.

    Panaracer GravelKing 32mm

    Panaracer GravelKing 32mm smooth/slight fishbone (not SK version) tread are tubeless compatible to 60psi. Websites/sellers don’t mention it, but Panaracer have tweeted it, I use them and it works.

    They’re light at 290g, look good in brown wall, relatively inexpensive, not prone to cuts (unlike Mavic tubeless tyres) and don’t seem any slower on the road than normal tyres.
