I'm a believer in Schwalbe Marathon Supremes. Been running 35s on my
Atlantis for nearly 6,000 miles with zero flats (knock wood!). Flat
resistance is my first priority, then wear. The rear is worn out and
the front still has life in it.
At 50-60 psi, they're comfy IMO but I've never ridden th
Got my first flat in a year and a half on CdlVs after our So Cal +24O
last weekend - woke up Monday morning after 160 miles Sat & Sun and a
thorn had deflated the rear tire overnight. I really like the CdlVs -
I don't know what else I could ask of them - especially for the
price.

I got about 3 months on the Schwalbe Marathons (650b) and I like them
a lot. I converted from CDlv's and to be honest I really can tell
much difference. My biggest gripe with the CDLVs was that they were a
major pain to mount and some of them appeared to have a built-in
wobble. The Marathons mou
I've been trying to hold out for a Marathon Supreme in 650b.
Given the market for $50+ (I have trouble paying auto tire prices for
bicycle tires, personally) 650b tires, I think Schwalbe missed the boat
manufacturing the ho-hum Middy that competes in price with the 105/Ultegra
standard Col de la V
Actually just noticed Schwalbe is now selling a basic Marathin 650b.
No Supreme, Big Apple, Fat frank or Ultremo yet though.

Amen, sister! The Hetre is amazing, and there's nothing else out there

Just my opinion but the Hetre is the center of its own universe. The
only tire that could even dream of revolving in its golden orbit would
be a 40mm Pasela. Failing that, we have the CdlV which is alternately
praised in dulcet tones or vilified back to the primeval muck it came
from. I believe
