• As a side note.. how are you finding the tyres?
    I have a set of table tops, and they are really noisy on anything other than dirt, but these look like a less aggresive design.

  • I also have the old table tops and the billy bonkers are a little more quiet and faster. They are still more noisy than proper slicks, on some grounds they sound kind of like an electric motor. I quite like them because they‘re very grippy in corners and very pleasant to ride over sandy roads which are very common around berlin. They‘re also pretty light. I haven‘t had any punctures yet but I have my doubts that they‘re a super durable touring tyre. If I were to use it for a longer tour, I‘d probably go for something more solid and better puncture protection.

  • They sound like a nice update - I am pretty pleased with the table tops, but they are SO noisy, but nice and light compared to the Big Apples I run in the winter.
    I'd like to try the new Marathon Almotion, which look like a fast rolling and lightweight version of Big Bens.
