+ 1 for the Big Apples. They're not nearly as nice as the Big Ones I've
been using for a couple of years, but for such flat-resistant tires they
roll very well indeed. I used both the regular and the "LiteSkin" versions
with tubes and they were practically thornproof on dirt, and let only,
roughly, 1 thorn out of 20 penetrate on pavement. I'd come out of the
bosque with, literally, scores of thorns embedded in the tread, brush them
off, and ride home, and have no air loss after a day or several days.

One did feel the weight when pointing the bike uphill.

True, Edwin, my comment can't possibly apply to every variation that moniker 
has been applied to. In the words of Neil Young, "Take my advice, don't listen 
to me." 路

Re: [RBW] Re: Commuter Tire for Hunq

[Edwin W]

Joe,

I don't think my marathon supremes are bricks, so I went to see what 
Schwalbe offers and found so many marathons!! The heaviest Marathon plus 
MTB is listed at 1270g* per tire (how much does a brick weigh, anyway?), to 
the Marathon E plus (930g), Marathon Plus HS440 (900g), Marathon Plus Tour 
HS404 (890g), Marathn GT HS480, GT Tour HS 485, and GT 365 HS475 (all 
listed as 765g),  is your mind spinning yet, mine is, to the Marathon HS420 
(the original, 730g), Marathon Mondial HS 428 (570g), Marathon Almotion 
HS453 (500g), Marathon Almotion HS603 (490g), Marathon Racer HS429 (465g - 
called on their webpage the "lightest marathon," but apparently not in this 
size) and the Marathon Supreme HS469 (440g). 

Whew!! Who thinks that many models is a good idea

Liking my marathon supreme 50-622 640g evolution line, folding bead tire 
for the rear of my bike,

Edwin
Edwin

*all weights are for 35-622 ex the MTB doesn't have that size

Marathon Plus tires are great on an E bike with a lot of power.

For the OP, I've never used Big Bens to compare but Marathons are bricks. They 
will get you through the post-apocalyptic dystopia without many flats, but 
light and fun they are not.

The Speed is undoubtedly, the version I want, and that's why I'd like to
know from the seller what model is being sold. I use the Speed equivalent
in my present Big Ones; wonderful.

Have you looked at the Schwalbe G One Speed version? Love these light and 
supple tires (I use 35 and 38 widths); have yet to experience a flat.

Re: [RBW] Re: Commuter Tire for Hunq

[Patrick Moore]

Jonathan: If the OP doesn't want them, I may want them.

Questions:

1. Are these 700C or 650B?

2. What model of G One are these? I am looking for the very lightest,
thinnest, most flat-prone model.

3. If 700C and lightest, and if you should consider selling to me, how much
would you want shipped to 87120?

Thanks.

Patrick Moore
