I've been riding an atlantis with schwalbe marathons - in their 40mm size. They've been nice and cushy if I let enough air out but have felt 'sluggish' at times and when I pump them up to max pressure they were a bit harsh. I decided to pickup a pair of the pasela panaracer TG - folding bead in 32mm. My LBS had them quite inexpensive at $30/each. Popped them on, pumped them up to about 75-80psi and went for a couple of rides.
Things I noticed: 1. the atlantis feels a fair bit zippier. 2. the ride doesn't feel significantly rougher with the smaller tires. 3. I need to lower the fenders to have them fit better :) So now what I'm wondering is: 1. Is the ride improved b/c the width is smaller? 2. is the ride improved b/c of the more supple sidewall? 3. Anyone else with similar experiences?
