[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi Bob, Amen! I can never understand why Schwalbe doesn't try for greater clarity on their webpages. I found I could search for answers on the Schwalbe website by using Google. For instance, if I searched Google for "What is Schwalbe v-guard?" and clicked on the result linked to a

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

I keep seeing this tread topic and thinking, no, the Supremes didn’t sing “I second that Almotion.” Shrug. Sardonic grin. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Thanks John, It is both a little frustrating and even kind of funny how hard it can be to figure out all of the variations, in the models and sub-models, in the "market speak" labels, etc. I do truly like Schwalble tires and, considering how long I have used them, it seems I should know more!

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi Bob, I meant the V-Guard tires vs the MicroSkin TL-Easy tires. Maybe I was wrong, maybe the V-Guard tires are tubeless compatible. You're right, the general description of the Almotion says: "Now all sizes of Marathon Almotion are equipped for tubeless operation. The patented

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi John, Do you have or can you point me to more information on the non-tubeless Almotions you ordered? I am looking at the Schwalbe site now but it seems to imply all of the Almotions are tubeless compatible. I have no need for tubeless, at least on my current wheels, and the tubeless tires

I too was curious about the Almotions. Post your findings if you find anything out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Thanks Chris, I'll add the Maxxis Torch to list of possible choices as well, with a note about the cornering. Thank you everyone for all your recommendations. I ordered a set of the Marathon Supremes and a set of the new clincher, non-tubeless Marathon Almotions from Germany for

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi John, I have the same experience as dougP using Schwalbe Supreme 26 x 1.6” in my Atlantis during my 4 months TransAm tour in 2016. Only 1 flat each for front and rear tire. I would use the same tire in my next tour. Edgar > On 6 Nov 2018, at 12:34 PM, jack loudon wrote: > > John, I've

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

John, I've never tried the Allmotions but (like others) have had very good luck with Supremes. First set 700-50's went close to 10,000 mi with no flats; I did nothing but add air occasionally. I finally retired them because of a sidewall slice that didn't go through, but was nonetheless

Thanks Jon, I had forgotten about those, I'll add the Soma Shikoros to my possibles list. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

My wife and I have used Supremes on touring bikes for the last few years, and both have good resistance to punctures. She has 700x35, and I have the 700x40. I have had 700x38 Soma Shikoro on my commuting bike, and had good luck with them and they roll nice. They have a 700x50 version too.

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Hi Garth, I'm running my Antelope Pass 55mm tires about 25 psi in the front and about 35 psi in the back. My Hunqapillar weighs about 32(?) lbs & I weigh about 240 lbs, but usually keep my groceries to 10 lbs or less per run. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

John, Flats are @ what PSI ? You may simply need to lower the pressure. I run 40mm Vittoria Hypers @ 33-40 psi and they have been flat free over 3 pairs. On Monday, November 5, 2018 at 11:30:45 AM UTC-5, John Phillips wrote: > > Been getting too many flats lately, perhaps due to all

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Thanks Doug, The supremes sound really good. Checking the Schwalbe site again, I see for 2019, Schwalbe will be offering lighter clincher versions of the Marathon Almotion in 50-622 & 55-622 sizes once again, along with the heavier tubeless versions in the same sizes. So maybe I should

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

John: I've used the Supremes for 10 years now & like them a lot. Punctures are rare in my suburban environment & I've also taken them off road without issues. They will definitely be more flat resistant than the Compass. No experience with the All Motion. I doubt you need to go full

Re: [RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Got it. Still, the Apples may be an option; it's just that for flats other than by goathead, I get perhaps 1 every year (I think Jan has the same experience in Seattle or wherever he is) so I can't really speak to that sort of puncture (and I'm glad of that; our goatheads are certainly bad enough.

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

I don't have a comparison between them, but I'm running Almotion 650Bx2.0 on my Joe A. I've switched between those and WTB Horizon's. Cumulative I have over 1k miles on Almotions. No flats so far. Ride is very smooth and supple.I have them mounted on Velocity Atlas rims. On Monday,

[RBW] Re: Anyone compared Schwable Almotions to Supremes?

Patrick, my flats are caused by broken glass, wires and urban construction debris rather than goat heads. I've been trying to run my errands on Compass tires, but I really can't afford the time it takes to fix a flat when my wife's ice cream is on board. So I'm trying to find the "most

I'm curious to hear any real world experiences as well. Found some sciency data here and my interpretation is that the Almotion's are a little more puncture
