Schwalbe should name me official "ambassador of Big Apples", I've put more people on a set of Big Apples.... That's because they are AWESOME tires! it takes only a few seconds to fall in love with these tires, as you find yourself wondering "How can THESE feel so cushy, and yet roll so fast????" I run the 2.35s fatties on my Fargo, and I can't imagine a better tire unless you want to run fenders, in which case I'd recommend the 29 x 2.0 Big As, which will give you fewer fender fit fits (say that 5 times fast....) Your ride sounds beyond epic!!! I am planning a 2-day light tour on my Fargo (mostly offroad)... I will ride with the Big Apples, for sure. Safe Travels...

I'm thinking of using the stock tire in the front and a 35 in the rear - any comments. I've also been having a lot of problems with the front brake going out of adjustment, hitting the attachement bolts, and god forbid I should have to take the wheel off because I'll have to start over with resetting the brake. Help!! I leave in two days - the shop has suggested "trimming" the offending bolt. I am preparing to leave Fort Collins, CO and head to Telluride, CO fully loaded, 70% pavement, 30% gravel.
