Well finally they arrived Congratulation.

I have now about 50km on them. They are definitally great.
The look of the bike is really better and they are much more comfortable than Schwalbe Marathon originally fitted on my Speed D7.

The benefit is that you can use really large presure for them 30-70 PSI which mean that you can chose betwen Land Rover and Ferrari

Because my roads are stony roads and cobbles I prefer the lower presure fore bigger comfort and works fine.

My Stelvios cost £14 each and £3.50 each for the tubes. Do your tubes have Schrader or Presta valves? I have been told that the Big Apples roll very nicely. I’ll be interested in how you get on with them.

Hi Robin!
Rid does feel better, on the short test ride I had outside, but I need to ride them further so I’ll reserve judgement for now!

They cost £17.96 each and the tubes were £4.08 each.

They look superb. How does it ride and how much did they cost? I remember fitting Maxxis Hookworm tyres to a BikeE and having *fun* adjusting the mudguards.
