Mitch: I've used Marathon Supremes exclusively on my Atlants for several years & love 'em. Long wear & less than 1 flat per tire on average. Yes they are expensive but you won't be disappointed.
On your question regarding fender clearance, I posted some measurements I took yesterday when I changed out worn 35s for a 40 & 50 mix. The 35s measure 27-1/2" OD; 40s are 28"; and the 50s are 28-1/2". I know that sounds too tidy but it's close enough for tires. All at 50 psi on Mavic A-719 rim. IIRC, on an Atlantis there's plenty of room for pretty much any 35 with a fender and a 40 will probably work as well. Might give Riv a call to see what they think, since they have both products. FWIW, wow, that 50 on the back is BIG! I gotta look up the weight but it's a pretty noticeable change from the 35. Might take some getting used to. dougP On May 16, 7:39 am, Mitch Browne <[email protected]> wrote: > Currently commute daily 16 miles round trip on my 58 Atlantis with > 47mm Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires.
