It's too bad Schwalbe isn't making the Mondial available in 650b. I've become a big fan of Schwalbe Marathons as they're quite durable and roll nice enough. Sure, they're sluggish, but so am I. Hell, i used 32mm Marathons twice on 600k brevets, both of which were in the rain and took in stretches of road with shoulders that were quite cluttered with debri and had no issues. I did not want to deal with tire issues or flats in the rain or at night. certainly don't think the tires held me back. But since you already have the Fatty Rumpkins, just use those for a while. --mike
