Schwalbe Albert pro, Shredda tires - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Aug 8, 2024 · I am not the target market for the tires they just released. My weight fully kitted with Camelbak + tools + Stumpjumper is still safely under 200. I run 19/23psi F/R on 2.4" Wicked Wills and do not experience pinch flats or burping. However, I could still use more climbing and (especially) cornering traction.

Schwalbe Smart Sam: first impressions. More aggressive...
Sep 14, 2021 · Ordered some Schwalbe Smart Sam tires for a mixed surface bike I'm building. I foresee a 25% road 25% gravel 50% single track use breakdown. I was originally considering lighter weight XC tires like the Recon or Rocket Ron …
Schwalbe Big Apples on the Trail - a real test and review
Nov 29, 2010 · Badabing. This afternoon I decided to give the 26 X 2.35 Big Apples a try on the trail. Since I couldn't find a definitive answer or review of how they worked on real mountain bike trails, I decided to give them a go for myself. When I arrived at the trailhead, like I normally do, I first took out about 10psi from both front and rear (maybe a ...
Schwalbe Hurricane? Anyone running? - Mountain Bike Reviews …
Oct 28, 2022 · They will roll super fast (even faster than Race Kings), have some burly puncture protection so you can keep running tubes, have enough grip for easy singletrack, and last forever. I'd recommend the Schwalbe Marathon Almotion 29x2.15 tubed version with the Onestar compound which is the fastest version (part number 11653993).

Problem with Schwalbe Tire - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Jul 5, 2022 · Got a discount code for a free tire from the Schwalbe USA site, and didn't have to send back the crap tire. Even if I got the tire on clearance for $35, I could just put the code toward a $100 tire, shipped free. Their MSRPs are inflated, as a lot of their normal mtb tires are $65ish on the open market.
Are Schwalbe Tires True to Width? - Mountain Bike Reviews Forum
Apr 25, 2011 · The problem with comparing Schwalbe to Kenda isn't that Schwalbe tends to be under sized still its that Kenda is more often over sized. Nevegal 2.1s are really 2.2s in tread width. The Nevegal 2.35 is at least a 2.4 on most XC rims. The Nev 29 x 2.2 is a 2.4 also in reality. Tioga also has a habit of being larger than claimed.
