Was just thinking pathfinder or Sawtooth on my 2007 Crux and saw your video. My bike can take 40mm and even 42 with a very straight wheel. So I ordered 38 rear and 42 front sawtooth. Now I need to try the pathfinder
My bike came with 38 pathfinders and I quickly cut both sidewalls running them at too low of pressures , but I liked them, it was beginning of covid and a friend gave me a set of 40c wtb nanos that I really liked, super good on trails and chunky gravel, I've got few hundred miles on the 42c Sawtooths and I love these tires ,fast and tons of grip !
Good to know!
I got these for a big gravel bike tour, Spain to Switzerland. Ended up hitting a big pothole at speed and dented both (!!) rims, but these tyres survived. Just threw in tubes and kept going.
Once they wear out a bit the center section is slick and you still have the nice tread on the side. Also want to give the pathfinders a try, but I have another few thousand Kms on these before I can justify it.
I've been riding on Sawtooths 700x42's with tubes, since 2017, on my gravel bike, I live in Michigan, I ride MTB on trails mostly, but when I can't get on the trails, (mud/ice/snow) I get on the gravel bike, 1/3 of all roads in Michigan are gravel. S Cal you won't need Sawtooth for snow, but in Michigan if you want to ride all year they are amazing on snow packed gravel, not ice, I think they make them from Octopi,, in a gravel race going up a big snowpacked gravel hill someone fell infront of me, I knew I was going down, but I tried to swerve to the left, on snowpack, zoom I went around, the next hill there was a train of bikes on the shoulder going up in some loose gravel, I took the middle of the road up the snowpack, and passed them all, I had known they worked on snow pack, but that gave me the confidence to use them as an advantage, I get hundereds of miles each year on Sawtooths, most miles on gravel, not snowpack, they are amazing tires. On my 4th set without any flats...
Thanks for the info.
Very unique tread. So I was unsure. Thanks for the review. It was hilarious and helpful.
Thanks for watching!
I have this tires and really like them. They are really easy rolling on tarmac and OK for normal not hard gravel. Bought bunch of other tires but always got back to this ones.
I just did a cyclocross race today with them. Video to come
Here's the video: th-cam.com/video/ZjVmCxpsQDk/w-d-xo.html
My gravel bike can fit 29x2.2 so I decided I wanted a light-ish & cheap commuter bike. My commuter has Rene Herse Steilacoom 38mm front and Barlow Pass 38mm rear, both in the Endurance casing. Yes it's pricey tire setup but fairly tough tire and rolls well on gravel & road.
Good video hopefully sometime this year bike shops will start getting stuff back in .
Yeah, no kidding. Thanks for watching and subscribing
The new s works pathfinder. Super supple but light/fast like 38 mm Pathfinder
Thank you
Thanks for watching and subscribing
On my 2nd set of 42mm sawtooths. Was really impressed at how long the 1st lasted with a nearly 300lb rider. Also Picked up gravel king ss+ in 43mm recently and even though they are lighter I'm just not jiving with them as much. Need to do a tire swap on my bikes between the gravel king ss and sawtooths to see if it's the bikes or the tires making the difference. Just picked up sawtooths in 38mm to see how that does, but havent tried them yet.
Thanks for the insight Jason
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia Hello. Great video! Are they actually 38 or more? Fast on asphalt? Can you measure their width? I really need
@@Atlantis109 I have 38 because that's all I can fit on my cyclocross bike, but if you have a gravel bike, they often have more clearance and you'll be able to fix them.
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia Are they fast on the asphalt?
@@Atlantis109 Yes
Great video. I currently have Conti Double Fighters which are rated as 37 have you ever measured them?
I'm considering Conti Contacts or Michelin Protek or Bontrager H2. What would you go with? My frame struggles with 37 mm in wet conditions
Either of those would be doable.
If you ride 650bs and have enough room for 44.45mm, you can get them from specialized for $10.95
$11 per tire????
How's riding on a wet pavement road? Does it slide?
It’s a tire designed for dirt not wet pavement. I wouldn’t buy it if you want to ride or turn on wet pavement. Get a different tire
Pathfinder😂 good luck😉
No problem if you're not on the tubeless hype.
@@FreedomOfSport to me clinther gravel riding is not as exciting as with tubeless🤤
Hi - need some advise to select the right gravel tire. I currently have the Bontrager GR2 Team Issue Gravel Tire (700c 40mm) - but get flats all the time (even when i ride on the normal street - 1 week riding - flat - 4 flats on the back tire, 1 flat on the front tire in the last 4 weeks). I got the Tannus Armour Tire Inserts - but that doesnt fix the flat problem. Can you recomment me another gravel tire (which is good regarding puncture restistance)? which one has the best quality and prevents flats panaracer, Vittoria, Continental or WTB or something else? My terrain: Road and also some Offroad (forrest with gravel and fine sand - similar to where you are). I would say 60% road, 40% offroad.
I have a Trek Dual Sport 3 2020 with these rims: Bontrager Tubeless Ready Disc, 32-hole, presta valve
Pathfinders?
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia you mean specialized pathfinder pro? How many miles/km Did you test them? Did you test any panracer, vittoria?
@@Gerald-iz7mv Specialized Pros. That's my vote. What did you think of the video?
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia nice video! - what i mean its hard to compare it with other tyres - did you try any Panaracer Gravel King SK plus, Vittoria or WTB, Schwalbe G-One tyres to compare?
@@Gerald-iz7mv you’ll have to buy all of them and try them because everyone has a different experience
I was just thinking of getting these in 42mm. Are your tires true to size?
Yes
If you read this any time soon, haven't gotten them yet, and want the tan sidewall... they are currently on sale on the Specialized site for $27 in 42.. that's actually what got me to watch this video.
On my rims (23 internal) they measure 44mm
My 42s on 25 internal measured just about 45 mm
It's shrinkage!!!
Ha Ha!!
