Strangely enough, I find about the same thing with my Sam Hillborne.
The 40mm Supremes can be slow and heavy.  Although not all the time.
While the frame can handle them, I was a bit happier last year on
Pasela 35s on my particular SH.

Otherwise, I have a set of Supremes 26x2.0 on a different bike and it
is quite a good riding experience.  Although not quite as cushy as
with Big Apples.
