Schwalbe - Marathon HS 420 Touring Bike Tire | 3mm Puncture Protection with Reflective sidewall | for City, Urban, Hybrid Bicycles

The distance was 4,500 miles in It was not even necessary to rotate the tires since there were no flats. It looks like the tires are still good, they are worn but still look good after being fully loaded with my weight plus 49 pounds of gear. They are fantastic and I highly recommend them!.

I am experiencing the same pain in my rear. There are 2 sets of the Schwalbe Marathon GG RLX Wire Bead Tire (700X28) I bought, this is my second set, my first set had been used for 9000 miles with no problems at all. The second set of these I bought in December 22 2017 have only covered 1277 miles, the front blew out while on my bike rack after an 80 mile ride on bike paths the whole way. I inflate to 85 PSI, but the tire is rated at It is ridiculous that I have paid good money for these and they have only lasted 1300 miles! On weekends, I take it on long rides. It's mostly a commuter bike, but I also ride it for fun. The amount of bike paths in Denver is way larger than the number of streets, and I only ride on the bike paths. What are you planning.

I received the following item HS420 B/B+RT (Art. No. The quality of bike tires is amazing! I never knew such a thing existed! We are so pleased with the quality, along with the smooth and secure ride. Similarly to another review, they seem to be more like motorcycle tires, and could not possibly be compared to my old Basically every month I was getting flats with the old tires because they were soft, wobbly and wobbled a lot. It has greatly reduced fatigue and given a sense of confidence when far from home or help because of the rolling resistance on these. It took just a few minutes to install the wheels, though make sure to inflate them to a minimum of 20psi before securing them. drive the tire around the entire rim while dropping it on both sides to make sure it is well seated, and then inflate the tire to its Don't let this pass you by.

Excellent for a hybrid bike. The tire size is 26" x 2"
Use This is a mountain bike turned road bike, with the tire mounted on the front. Once I pulled the tires out of the box (they were shipped flat and round, not folded), I was amazed at their quality. Some others have commented that the tires are not exactly lightweight, and that is The side walls of these tires are pretty solid and firm. Without using any tools, these were easily installed on my rims. It is a pleasure to ride them. In my neighborhood, I ride bikes on paved trail or on gravel, sometimes on hard-pack. I don't commute by bicycle every day, but I enjoy riding around the neighborhood. I have been satisfied with their performance on all of these terrains.

This is an extremely thick tire that does not appear to be puncture-prone. I have been riding on slick, lightweight tires for the last 5 years. However, I have recently been riding on rougher, dirtier terrain too which caused a lot of flats and sliced tires, so I got rid of them. The bad thing is that the tire is thick and sometimes it feels like it is drifting on turns (maybe it is rolling from it's thick tread), but it does roll well going straight and is puncture-resistant, so I really The tire might not be an option for a rider who consistently goes more than 20mph You want to go 25 miles per hour. It usually takes me 17 to 20 minutes to complete an assignment The motivations for each individual may vary.

Schwalbe tires have always been regarded as the best, but I am a cheapskate, so I have never bought any of them. As a cyclist who's fed up with having to replace two sets of tires a year, and after reading the review of someone who rode cross country without even rotating her Schwalbe Marathon tires, I decided to try them out. My decision was based on a test drive of 1500 miles in six months. While I would have rotated tires on lesser brands by now to extend their lifespan, there is no noticeable tread wear with these tires. I have been riding all winter on roads covered a lot with cinders and gravel, and I never felt as if I was losing control of the bike. Bottom line you can buy a decent tire for less money, but you will spend more in the (not so) long run as you will have to replace them 2 times. There are three times more of them. Schwalbes are my favorite shoes, so if they ever wear out, I will no doubt get another pair!.

On weekends, I commute about 10 miles on these, and their extra volume of air really helps when it comes to bumpy streets here in San Francisco. While going straight, the tires are smooth, and there is a very slight choppiness (it took me a while to realize that) when turning, but I assume this is just the tread giving you a little more traction on curves. The roads are as slippery as they get, with potholes, subway tracks, and train and trolley lines. I have to hold on to my bike to keep it from falling off a cliff. It is a great set of The following is an update for April 30th, 2017 Over the past year and a half, I have commuted 10 miles a day on these and finally, in West Oakland, I had a glass puncture. It was a spike shaped piece of glass and it took a few miles before it was driven through the tire. On Sunday, I got home safely and noticed I had a flat. The most impressive thing about it is that I had to use pliers to extract the piece of glass from the tire! My dream would be for Schwalbe to manufacture.
