I'm on a mission to find the largest 700c tires that will fit (well) on my Miyata touring bike. I tried these Schwalbe Mondials and found that they just BARELY fit, too tight in fact for practical use. So unfortunately they must go. Sold as 47mm, they measure closer to 42mm on my 23mm rims. In case you're not familiar with the Mondial model--I don't think Riv sells them--they replaced the legendary XR's as the ultimate expedition touring tires. Considering how robust they are and how hard-wearing they are reputed to be, they're not heavy at all and roll quite well. Everything I've read about them leads me to believe they are excellent tires and well worth the dough. This pair has been mounted and test ridden around the neighborhood (on paved roads), so technically they're not * brand-spanking-new*, but they're as good as new. These are the folding Evolution Line version, the highest level that Schwalbe makes. I'm asking $130 for the pair, shipped in the CONUS, or $120 with local pickup.
