    Schwalbe tire rubber compound change heads-up

    if you like this tire, best current price i found for the big betty is at ride-this.com. last week, i bought 2 pacestars for $58 each shipped. you must click on free shipping to get it. it's not automatic.

    thank you. are the sidewalls decent? you can't run kenda's nevegal here because the walls are very thin and the rocks so unkind. you're up pretty late.

    Schwalbe tire rubber compound change heads-up

    1 set of avid sintered a year in the rear. I ride 2-3000 miles a year these days. i used to get 3 - 4 weeks from a guey in the rear (wearing it well past it's prime). I just put a trailstar on the rear 2 weeks ago and it's almost a slick.

    Schwalbe tire rubber compound change heads-up

    Schwalbe has changed their rubber tire compound formula. Exhaustive research (or anyway exhausting) coupled with foiled (sorry that's field) testing by top riders has produced . . . something. Heads up to all who are using this fine brand. I go through about ten Big betty's a year. It's my...
