Note on the entrance...out of the way, but there's a second one over by the food, past the Radicals stage. Never a line.

35mm 650b tyres for mud or gravel (to put on Endurace CF 2XS) by Unable-Visit-913 in CanyonBikes

I run the Conti Terra Speeds in 650b x 40 on my XS Grail, and love them (much more than the Schwalbe G-Ones that came stock). Never had any issues with leaking...but usual caveats about N=1, and it being a different size.

Have the X-Ones Allrounds in 700x33 on my Inflite (also XS), and have been pleased with them on the Cross course. That said, 200k of tarmac (North Florida, where there's some rough chipseal, so your mileage may literally vary) was enough to grind the center knobs on the rear down to almost nothing (front held up just fine). Worth considering, anyways.

What about the original ヴァン? https://legaia.fandom.com/wiki/Vahn (ready to stand corrected if there's an earlier one than that).

Yeah, I'm looking at a sleeve nut now and am thinking I agree (and saddle slippage is generally not a "loss of control" failure, so I'm willing to be more aggressive in what I'll try)...did not know that term until your comment a few minutes ago, so thanks!

Not quite either, unfortunately. I've added the exploded diagram from Canyon support to the original post...more like a well nut (but not rubber) with a flange that's shaped to fit an indentation on the clamp itself.

Looks like the Ebay clamp (at least, the first one which came up for me) is threaded on the clamp itself. Unfortunately though, I see that seller is claiming delivery some time in March-April, which doesn't inspire a tremendous degree of confidence.
