I adhere to Sheldon "Put the good one in front" Brown's philosophy about rotating tires: don't do it. As he explains, you don't want to take the more worn-out rear tire and put it on front, because you don't want front flats. Having a front tire and a rear tire equally worn out is not a goal worth pursuing. As he further explains, it's safer to put the somewhat worn front tire on the rear when the rear tire wears out, replacing the front tire with a new one.

Sadly, his Chain Cleaning System is no longer available: http://sheldonbrown.com/chainclean.html On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 9:34 AM, 'hangtownmatt' via RBW Owners Bunch <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> wrote: > As of today I have 9,340 commuter miles on my 700x35 Schwalbe Marathon > Supremes.
