Schwalbe Evolution Marathon XR Travelguard Folding 26 x 2.35

Advantages: Light weight, durable well made tyres
Disadvantages: A little pricey

..., and the tread pattern is very similar to the Comp 24. They have Michelin's Silica Compound which helps decrease rolling resistance, and also have a 127 Tpi (threads per inch) cord casing that is found on all other Michelin top of the range tyres. Even though these are sized at 26 x 2.2 (52 x 559), they are a smaller in width than the 2.2 size you would find on the Michelin DH tyres (54 x 559). The size of these is more comparable to a set of Maxxis 2.1 XC tyres. Installation was pretty straight forward, with the only serious effort needed when mounting the tyre to my rims, as like other Michelin tyres, the beading can be a tight fit when put on for the first time. My first impressions on using them were that they felt incredibly grippy. They are stable when cornering hard, and braking heavily. If you choose to use the directional tread pattern... Read review

Advantages: Outstanding performance in mud
Disadvantages: performance on other surfaces is middle to poor

...All tyres are a compromise. The mud Pro is a mud specific tyre, and at this it excels. However it's excellent mud performance is at the expense of it's performance on other terrains. On MUD: There are 2 thoughts for riding through mud 1) fat tyres run at low pressures to float over the surface. 2) thin tyres at high pressures to cut through the muck and find grip below. These are firmly in option 2. And in mud they are outstanding. I have personally ridden through 3/4 mile of constant mud, some if it up to 18 inches deep, and while my mates were left carrying their bikes, I just ploughed on through. Seems to work best at around 50 psi. The narrow profile and tall knobs really do cut through the surface, and where other tyres will just spin these will find grip. As long as you have the power to keep the rear wheel turning this tyre... Read review

Advantages: Works
Disadvantages: Broken Rear Guards

...Broken Rear Guards I am new to treadmills. I am learning to concentrate whilst walking/running, to stay in the middle of the running surface, to keep up with machine! We have recently gotten a BH Fittness G6446N Pioneer Premium Plug & Run. Purchased sight unseen via the internet. At the rear of the running deck are 2 plastic guards. I note that this design feature is shared by all of the G6400 series of Treadmills. The guards are held on by friction and one screw, the internal support and plastic casing/body is weak and flimsy. These guards have not lasted very long and will not take even slight impact. Granted you want to protect the workings of the belt and make the thing look good but they break and are almost impossible to repair. The should be "detachable" and clip on/clip off. Replacement of each broken guard will cost... Read review
