I don't know if this has been discussed here but the Dureme is to
be the replacement for the soon to be discontinued XR.

The Scwalbe global site already has the XR off the site.
I feel this morning the need to clarify something. I know Ken, and he
is a much better, stronger, faster rider than I will ever be. His
observations are probably the correct ones.
As my opinion is based on not being a real serious rider, it's not
worth anything.

They wore like iron, but weren't the wonderful ride. So, I
don't get what's so wonderful to be about the Dureme to be. According
to their chart, less speed, slightly more durable, heavier, more
expensive. Don't get me wrong, Schwalbe makes A LOT of tires and lots
of choices and that's

the 650b grand bois cypres is worth it too. at my weight (155lbs.),
the cypres is plenty big and comfortable and i find it to be a
lighter, sportier tire compared
just read a bit on the Schwalbe site, they just mention the duremo to
close a gap in the marathon line, the new xrs are these

Good. The more choices the better. I was going with Garth's report
above on cancelling the XR.

I have not had near the good luck with Continentals as I have with
Schwalbe. Armadillos are pretty sturdy, but the tires - at least 4 or
5 years back when I last used them - deliver a harsh and disconnected
ride.
They still do that.

I find the selection of sizes rather odd. The 26 only comes in one
size, 2 or 51 mm, while the 700c begins at 35 (1 3/8) and goes up.
I have a custom tandem on order from Bilenkey, which is deigned around
the 26 x 1.5 Marathon Racer. Apparently this new tire will not be an

I road a set of Marathon Supremes in the 700x42 thinking that they
would be bigger, rounder, and have that wonderful go-plump feel. I had
hoped that they would have the ride characteristics of a larger
Pasela. They wore like iron, but weren't the wonderful ride. So, I
don't get what's so
And I'm the exact opposite, love the 700x40 Supreme and rarely, if
ever, think about going back to Pasela tires. The Pasela 35s seem too
narrow to me now. And didn't have a reliable enough source for the
37s to really use them.
Now, the 26x47 Supremes are a different story. Those do seem too
They probably are...but, then I've got to change fenders, or frame!
Sometimes good enough is good enough..though then what would I spend
all my time on the internet looking at?
