Anyone else have qc issues with Schwalbe lately?
I've always found their tyres to be pretty 'wobbly'. Little Big Bens, some older G-Ones, Land Cruisers, Marathons, I've used all of them in the past and none have been noticeably true.
On a different note, 500 miles on the new Gravelking SS+, and really liking them. Comfy, fast(ish) and good durability. I was planning on switching back to Sawtooths for summer, but I think I'm going to keep them on.
The 700x45's run well around 35psi (tubed) I've found. At 40 they are noticably firmer on the road.

Well, my client wanted the tires NOW so I was left to overpay for a miserly selection here in town. Thought I’d lucked out with a set of Schwalbe Marathon Greenguards. Mounting them on the rims was fine, but no matter how many times I reset the bead in the rim (both tires) they wouldn’t run true; up and down, side to side, they’re all over the place. I tried another tire I had on hand, no problem so it wasn’t the rim and I don’t think it was me.
Anyone else have qc issues with Schwalbe lately? These are 50-559.
I should also mention that I’m running these tubed.
