I like how the Marathon Supremes ride, very smooth, fast and with great
grip. They inspire a lot of confidence, but I'm sure the geometry and
handling of the AHH play a significant role there as well.
If I get the chance, I'll try the Paselas. Otherwise, I need to wear down
those Supremes as they
I agree. However, in my experience, the pasela sidewalls are just too
fragile. They are a pretty nice ride for the money, and look nice
too. But I won't buy them again if I have other choices. I have had
few ruined too soon because of the sidewall.
The marathon supremes are great tires, much
I love Phil hubs. Worth every penny for something that will last a lifetime
(or two!).
Just a bummer that they do cost so many pennies!!!

Phil hubs are quite serviceable at home or on the road with a pair of 5mm
hex wrenches.

I would probably go with Dyads and 32 spokes front, 36 rear on the XT hubs.
Decently maintained XTs will probably last indefinitely (or so long as to
make it a moot point). Any cartridge bearing hub will eventually need the
bearings replaced and I don't think it is typically a home shop job. If y
I also had the Marathon Supremes on my Atlantis. I had the 40mm size
mounted on Mavic A719 rims. The tires cornered well and had a smooth
ride but I was not completely satisfied with the overall feel/
handling. I changed to 35mm Paselas on Velocity Synergy rims and the
bike rode much better. I
eat success with a set of Rich built wheels using Dyads also.

My brother has an wheelset of XT hubs laced to Dyads. They have not
gone out of true in...2.5 years of heavy commuting on rutted streets
in San Francisco and a winter in Michigan carrying a bit of weight. If
I were going to make a focused touring bike I'd get the Dyads.

"superior" includes a lot of characteristics.
I rode marathon's on my atlantis and while they were very resilient I
didn't enjoy them at all. I put paselas on the bike one da

Do you think they are that superior to the Marathon Supremes?

Thanks for all the feedback.
To answer some of the questions, and clarify a mistake:
- Rich's options are for Dyads vs. A719s, not A319s; my mistake last night.
- I'm currently 265 lbs and have no idea how much or when I'll be packing
whenever I manage to be able to go on a camping trip, or tour.
Any time you have the option, given your choice of hub, get 36
holes.For the negligible rotating weight added by the 4 extra
spokes, the wheel gains *lots* of strength.This means less wheel
maintenance -> better peace of mind -> funner riding! :D

Hubs better than XT's? Define "better" I suppose. The thing with
these hubs is the cone races are not replaceable making them
throwaways if the races are compromised.
I was burned once by the races of 105 hubs failing and
Hi Rene,
could you tell us total maximum rider and luggage weight, what size
tires you'll run on road and off, and whether you'll be riding really
bad roads (I have dented two massive Araya rims on Ithaca potholes
[commuting after dark in the rain with mediocre lights]). Are you the
kind of guy w
We have a Dyad on our tandem and it's held up wonderfully. I'd go with 36h
for touring and trail use.
