Hi!

Thanks for the review, I’ve got interested in these tires, but I owe a cross/trekking bike and I am afraid it won’t fit into the frame I have.
Could you please leave us here a real-size measure of these tires? what is real width and height in mm-ers?

And by the way to all the rest – do you know what is real width and height in mm-ers of Schwalbe big apple 2.0 29″ ?

Thanks a lot!
B.

I put these on both mine and my GF’s Long Haul Truckers along with Planet Bike Cascaida 29er fenders and they “just” fit. After 100+ mile dirt, sand, gravel bike packing trip I was amazed how well they handled off road and also how smooth the ride was. Back on pavement the difference between the stock 37mm Continental Contact is small enough I’m just leaving them on. I can definitely recommend this tire for anyone looking to give there bike more versatility and great ride comfort…

Recently purchased these tires and they are the most comfortable tire I have used on my Trek DS. Run them at 50psi and they are only 0.1mph slower than the 700 x 38 Bontrager LT3 tires that came stock on the bike which I ran at 60psi. The Evo also weighs 560 grams/pair heavier so I’m gonna keep the Evo due to the comfort. GREAT tire for daily riding.

For a commute of mixed Paved and Dirt Roads, would you recommend the Evolution of the Schwalbe Big Apple (2.0″)? 2″ is about the max I can fit into my Rawland Drakkar comfortabley. I also love longer dirt orad rides, so keep that in mind.
