First caveat - I have not used the 700xanything Big Apples.  Only the
26 inch version.  Second, have used the Marathon Supremes in both 26
and 700 versions.  Have the latter 700x40 on the Sam Hillborne.  I
find the Supremes a better climbing tire.  My wife feels the Liteskin
26 inch Big Apple is a better tire than the Supreme.  She is not as
nuts as the rest of us, but has her own preference in tires.

That being said, the Sam Hillborne next year will probably be set up
with Paselas.  The Supremes from time to time feel like they are
filled with concrete.  Can't figure it out.  But the wheels just don't
wanna roll.
