  • Latex tubes for audax and training? Do I look like I give a fuck about finish times? Nice try Racey McRacington. What's wrong with Schwalbe? I ran their Durano variants for years with no issue.

  • I swear you put a whole thing about crr 8 posts back...

    Latex tubes puncture less than butyl. Tubeless punctures least of all but if you wanna be stuck in the 90s, latex is still the best.

    Schwalbe are shit. I've used g-ones, pro ones, some other races ones, racing ralph CX, hans damf, magic Mary and rock razors in the last few years and they have all been shit. Fragile, worn out punctury heaps of shit that dont even grip that well. I try a lot of different tyres but fuck schwalbe from now on.

  • Come on, dont sit on the fence. Are Schwalbe shite or no?

  • Yeah, tyres are one thing. I'm not putting latex tubes in unless it's a race.

    As for tubeless, latex are faster and no one has convinced me tubeless works on the road anyway so I'll stick with the 90s vibe while you lot are wiping the jizz off your bikes.

    I've used Racing Ralph for a whole 3hrs of MTB and all my other Schwalbe experience has been durable road tyres Durano and Durano Plus, oh and their tractor tyres (Marathon Plus) on the fixxieskidder for a million miles. There does seem to be a lot of people complaining about Schwalbe durability so it's easy enough to avoid them.

  • Schwalbe are shit.

    Strongly disagree.
