Schwalbe

I'm a big fan of these tires - this is my second pair, on two different bikes and different widths. For tires as light and fast as these are, they've held up great - even through some off-road shenanigans!

I bought these in a 40mm width for the champagne gravel I ride locally and love them. To get to the side nob's cornering you have to really lean the bike over. I run 30 psi in them and have had no issues.

After more than 50 years in the cycling industry; selling products to and purchasing products from; for personal riding use, a vast number of brick and mortar bike shops and on line dealers, I have experienced a full range of quality in all aspects of products and service.

BikeTiresDirect are a step above everyone else.

A year ago I retired and am now faced doing all my own maintenance without the crew in the office who would help me at every step with any issues.

My wife and I both ride everything from fat tires on the beach to gravel, road and MTB, plus city commuting and errands. We average 12-14 hours per week.

The selection of products offered is the utmost in quality brands and the shipping is incredibly fast. BUT, what sets BikeTiresDirect above all the others is their SERVICE.

I bought these Schwalbe gravel tires as a replacement for the same exact model that we were already riding.

I also purchased sealant (different brand from what I used in the past) and after mounting I kept on having trouble maintaining air and mounted several times to totally insure the bead and valve stem were seated correctly.

I finally contacted the BikeTiresDirect customer service team and wondered if I had a bad batch of tires.

They quickly replied and asked me to check the sealant/sealant quality. They even sent a complimentary bottle of another brand to try and see if it solved the problem.

It did! Lesson learned and problem solved.

I will continue to believe in BikeTiresDirect and their dedication to creating positive customer riding experiences for all their riders.

I rode this tire on the C&O Canal trail and the Great Allegheny Passage trail doing loaded touring. The tire has great grip on the gravel and compacted limestone surface.

I also have ridden it on the road and some dirt trails at home.

I love the Schwalbe brand and this tire did not disappoint.
