One more comment, tangential: I just resurrected the Big Apple wheelset today and did a windy out and back. I am very pleased with the superbe rolling qualities of the two Schwalbe models I've used, 559X1.35 Kojaks and the 60 mm Big Apples. After riding the Fargo with Ritchy semi-cross tires for months -- very light tread on the surface -- the BAs just rolled superbly.
