New 700x38 Color Poll
I have been working with Merry to bring a 700c version of their well received B Line tire to market. The B Line is the light weight Non-Hypertex version of their New Express tire in the 650B size. Having ridden both I will admit that the difference is there.
The 700c version would be built in a similar fashion off of the existing 700x37 New Express platform. I have been riding the Hypertex version for a couple of months now and am happy, but want "more of it". Please take a minute to vote on color options, terra-cotta with tan side walls, black with tan, black on black or creme with tan. At this point we can start with one color, possibly more in the future. This will also help to gauge overall interest.

Please share this around, help get out there, demonstrated demand is what makes our niche product dreams into reality.

The tires do not exist yet, poll results help make them real. If you think it is an ad or spam, I am sorry for that. I thought it might be something that touring forum folks might be interested in. if anybody has input to share I would love to hear it. These tires will help to fill a void left by the wider non-tg pasela, and take it up a notch with a folding bead.

There is no such thing as bad publicity.

I have had an account with them for a while, finally made it up to meet them in person a few months ago. Part of the trip was to break the ice for some collaboration projects, 38-42mm 700c tires being one of them. Starting with the New Express as an existing platform in exponentially more cost effective than a new mold, and that will be the launch pad for the tire. Once the market for such a tire is proven it can pave the way for future tires. Merry has more experience and industry connection than I could hope to develop in my own lifetime, so I reached out to them.

can you get merry to get panaracer to make some lightweight 700x50s?
that'd be great. there's already buttloads of 700x38 tires out there.
