I forgot to add that, before I switched to the 45 mm SnoCats, the break was
at about 20 psi front for the OEM 24/25 mm Alex rims.

The flop I feel at sub 16-17 (having just discovered this to be the minimum
to avoid said flop) is oversteer: you lean into a turn on a firm surface

What is front-end dive in corners?
When I tried mine, 40lbs on the front tire based on my weight, on
turns it felt like the tires were pulling the handlebar into the turn.
Is that it?

Seriously (No!) that looks like a nice bike.
I just did a 14 mile, 70 minute out and back that included several miles of
climbing on sandy, steepish dirt roads on ABQ's NW mesa, riding the Sow or

I put some Big Apple Liteskin 26x2.35's on myrigid Salsa mountain
bike. I can't compare them to the regular BA's, but these tires are
awesome. They are fast on the pavement and great on trails. Not as
grippy as knobbies but not slippery either. Perfect tires for my
multi surface rides.

Thanks; I've added both the Lites and the 19A tubes to my budget for June.
And, again, please give us your ride opinions.

I agree; road tread tires are not the best choice for slippery conditions.
That said, I've rode the BAs on slushy snow with mud showing through, and as
long as the road was flat and straight I was fine.

Well, "off-road" covers a lot of ground, so to speak. On a dry trail
with scattered rocks as the main obstacles, or on a groomed but
unpaved trail, the BAs at lowish pressure would be ok or even great.
On the Minnesota River Bottoms, where I often ride, muddy, slippery
roots protrude at acute angle
Patrick,
According to Schwalbe, the 19 or 19A tubes are the right size for the Big
Apples (29x2.35). The 19A is a lighter version, and it was the only one
Wallingford had so I got those. So far, I love the Schwalbe tubes; they hold
air very long and seem to be excellent. Haven't had any problems w

can't see why not. As long as it is hardpacked. Did a 35 mile ride
on a limestone trail two weeks ago. They are cushy. Even though I
probably run them too firm. Will have to let some air out and see how
they ride. Last time I
Please do report. And are the 19A tubes a particular size or are they light?
I just weighed one of my Contis or whatevers and it is a full 8 oz.
I know what goes on my next month's purchase budget.
And, I am serious about taking them off your hands if you decide they are
too big.
Patrick Moore,
Patrick,
I got mine from Wallingford coupled with the recommended by Schwalbe, 19A
tubes. I'll report when I get a chance to ride them. It's Sunday afternoon
and I'm at work... at least I got to do my pilot S240 yesterday with my son
and a friend.
Will send a short report soon :-)

Lee rode a Bridgstone MB-1 last weekend round the mountains in East San
Diego Co, and the Big Apples were great for him. He had Albatross type bars
which led to some hand fatigue, but the tires seemed to perform flawlessly.

I haven't tried it either, but I just order myself some Big Apples

The Big Apples sound perfect for mixed road/trail rides. I can't
stand the sluggishness of knobbies on the road, and the trails near me
don't require too much traction...Big Apples sound perfect. The
