Where are these teasers to be found?

Barlow Pass on my 700C Atlantis. They're dreamy. And Compass has released
some teaser shots of a new 44mm 700C tire coming out soon, which is also
tubeless ready. That'll be my next tire for sure.

I briefly rode 50mm Marathon Supremes and then switched over to 60mm Big
Apples. My perception was that the Big Apples were actually "faster" and
had less rolling resistance. This is counter to Schwalbe's literature but
it was my experience.

I've been riding Compass Barlow Pass (lite version) on my Sam Hillborne for
a year now. Have had several flats. On my Public D8i that I put an
e-assist kit on (thus adding 15 lbs or so), I've been running Panaracer
Pasalas PT 38mm folding versions. I have to say that for the price $36

Thoughts on the Barlow Pass:
-- This is where I would start.
-- Inflate as little as you need for cornering stability and then say in
the basic window.
-- Their flat protection is in their suppleness, flexing around offending
objects and spreading out the load so they are far less likely to pene

I have used Schwalbe Marathon Supremes for commuting for several years. I
started with 32s and then moved to 35s. They offer excellent flat
protection, durability and relatively light weight compared to the other
Marathons. On my old (26") bike I had been using Marathon Pluses, so the

John here is some tests of touring tires, Marathons included :

As far as comfort of the ride Schwalbe even says choose the tubeless for
the best.

Has anyone tried the new 2016 version of the 40mm Marathon Supremes? I
have been wondering if Schwalbe actually the improved ride with the same
protection that they advertise?

So much of it depends on your weight and riding style. Compass tires are
fantastic but I personally think they're wildly inappropriate for loaded
touring unless you're very lightweight, enjoy constantly looking out for
obstacles & are very experienced. I've used Compass tires, Schwalbes, and

Hi Erl,
I just finished a 350 mile tour on the Schwalbe Greenguards in the 700x38
with no flats. They are heavy (because they are heavy duty) but they roll
great! They are built like a car tire. The shape of the tire is a little
weird. The tread is narrower than the tire at its widest point.
I've been running the Little Big Bens 700c-38s on my Sam since day one with
P-45 fenders for 2-1/2 years.No flats!!!
They go through anything.Snow ,mud, sand, gravel and not noisy on pavement.
I don't even think about them.
I can't compare them to anything else.It's all I've ridden. I'm at the
Interesting though as this site lists the Marathon Greenguard 700x38 ,
40-622, as being 40mm measured width.

Also consider the Soma C-Line and/or the more durable Protex Pasela

Yes Erl, the Marathons offer a lot more flat protection than a Little
Ben. The Little Ben is a downsized Big Ben of course and the Big Ben is
the exact same tire as the Big Apple with a little more tread. Riv measures
the Little Ben at 36.5mm wide and the Marathon 37mm wide. The tires do
how
Vittoria Hypers come in 32, 35 and 38mm sizes and they run larger than
their stated size on many people's rims, including mine. The 32's measure
34mm on Dyad rims. The tires are fast and most people who try them, like
them. They also have flat protection.
