One more remark: from my experience with several sets of Big Apples of
various sizes and types, and two sets of Kojaks: the benefit of these
Schwalbes is that they have nice, supple sidewalls even with puncture
layers under the tread, which I surmise accounts for their nice ride and
their relative
It has been 10 years or so, but I did use these, as they were back then, on
a beater with not unpleasant results. That is to say that my recollection
of them is not of something horrible. I daresay they are not as nice as
similarly wide Kojaks, which many praise.

I ran T&Cs on our tandem a while ago. They were fine. Nice smooth center
tread with inverse tread on the shoulders. Not terribly supple, nor were
the sidwalls robust, but that's a Conti weakness IMHO.

For a much lower-brow approach, does anyone have any experience with
Continental Town and Country 26 x 1.9's?
They are available from several sources for a relative song, and they seem to
have a decent thread count, smooth profile, decent volume, and not soul-sucking
flat protection.
By all
Meant 44s.

I just put Compass 26 x1.75s (38s) on my Riv Betty Foy and I really love them.
They replaced Schwalbe Marathons

Compass 2". Great tires that are as fast for me as jack B's or Hetres. And
they look great on a Miyata!

Hi all, I just acquired a Koga Miyata Valley Runner frame that I've got to
outfit with some new wheels and tires. I haven't been in the world of 26"
wheels or tires for quite a few years and need some suggestions on tires.
The frame can fit 2" tires comfortably with fenders. 2.15" would be the
