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 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 great. I'm just not willing to sacrifice the ride characteristics for durability. At the price point, I'm not interested in dropping $150 to experiment.
I LOVE my Jack Browns, I'm waiting for Jack's larger cousin in a large volume, light weight 622bsd by about 38 tire. It'd be the PERFECT tire IMHO for the Atlantis. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
