I've ridden some non-paved roads with Marathon Dureme 700x40 on the Sam Hillborne. They make a 700x50 that should fit an Atlantis. That would be my first recommendation. Bigger tire. Otherwise, the Extreme. Have a 26x2.00 on one bike. Like the tire a lot. A touch slower, maybe, than a Suprem

Patrick, why selling? You seemed so enthusiastic about it after purchase. BTW, this looks like a terrific deal to me. (As an objective, but imperfectly informed, third party -- if I brought another bike into the house, the domestic decibel level would experience a statistically significant inc

I was; and still am, but I need cash and with the new trike (which isn't going anywhere) there is overlap between the Fargo, the Herse and the trike, and since my off road preference is a ss, and the Herse is such a good bike, I thought I'd offer the Fargo. On Sat, Nov 5, 2011 at 7:33 AM, Allingha

I used a pair of 700x50 Marathon Duremes on a 50% off-road touring/ camping trip. They worked great on and off the road. Maybe a tiny bit slow-ish on the road, but they surprised me with their grip in the dirt. Fitted on my Hunqapillar, there was still plenty of room. best, -Brian On Nov 4, 8:06

If it's not a "technical" single-track type offroad situation, you probably don't need much, if any, knobbiness. If it's simply gravel roads and such, then Marathons or Marathon Supremes should be ok. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunc

+ 1 on the Marathon XRs I had them on my Atlantis and they wear like iron! No flats after thousands of miles, and they have the right amount of tread for off road use with nice knobs on the sidewalls, but not on the center, so they are nice for on road use as well. -Andy On Nov 4, 5:06 pm, Ric

As a former Fargonaut, and having recently built up one for my brother, I think the Fargo is an awesome bike to own, especially if you plan to do rough road and/or loaded touring. It instills confidence in rough situations. Sorry you have to part withi it, Patrick... I chose to sell mine when I bo
