The Camino ships with WTB Horizons but Schwalbe G-One Allround’s are a cost option. Any opinions on either or a suggestion for something better.
It's for 99% urban road use.

I used them on last years Torino-Nice. Surprisingly good on everything from tarmac to Alpine col moon-dust.Ta I'll have a look at them too.

Re: 650b CX Tyres
Re-fuse or Horizons then - can't see why you'd pay more for the Schwalbes over Horizons. 42C Panaracer Gravel Kings with the aramid belt are great if tubeless isn't important - they're notably lighter + quicker rolling than the other 2 and pretty flat-resistant.It's for 99% urban road use.

Schwalbe hurricanes. Mega cheap.
650b x 2". Nice smooth centre section for general road riding, slightly raised lugs on the sides for gravel n the odd bit of crap. All yours for £11/end.

Happy to pay for the Schwalbes if its a better tyre. It's a work bike so within reason, the cost difference between them of about £15 doesn't matter.
There is more importantly the fact the WTB's are a horrible two tone colour and the Schwalbes are plain black.

Re: 650b CX Tyres
I went with the new tubeless WTB Horizons as they are a bit more road oriented than the others. I rode the other WTB's on the demo bike during the YD200 and was amazed at how a semi slick could grip.
