I believe a 29er or 700c is known as a 28 in Europe. As such, Schwalbe designates their "29er" tires as "28"..........................
I have liked them a lot actually. I have used quite a few Schwalbe tires over the years, including Marathon, Marathon Plus, Marathon Supreme, Big Apple, Fat Frank, Kojack, Sammy Slicks, Thunder Burts, Big Ones.........the list goes on. The Big Ben was up there with usual Schwalbe characteristics of long lasting, great puncture protection, good grip, etc. They aren't the lightest tires, but this isn't a race bike either. I haven't purchased new tires in a few years so I am totally out of the loop as to what is new. I know the Rene Herse/Compass are all the rage but I can't spend that much on tires. As for my preferences, I most want a combination of decent weight, puncture protection, and low rolling resistance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
