It’s all surprisingly interchangeable.
Grand Bois Hetre tyres are a bit of an institution for gravel roads in 650b; around 42mm / 1.7″. They’re made by Panaracer in Japan and mine came from Acycles in France.
Apparently, they’ve been around for many years; have had them on the 26″ tandem for two summers, and find that they’re ‘sprightlier’ than the original 26×2.0 road slicks that it came with. The tandem is run with the original 26″ wheels in winter, slick on the back and a semi on the front. The outer diameter of the 42mm 650B is about the same as a large 26″ tyre or small 700c.
