They were mounted on a Mavic Open Pro on the Rodeo, they are now on the MA3's on the SO, awesome tire.

So the 37.5 mm is probably on a narrower, more high performance rim. The rim is the other variable to consider when pushing the envelope on tire fit. The 40s look nicely chubby on my Atlantis; they must give the Roadeo a wild look. dougP On Oct 27, 1:07 pm, [email protected] wrote: > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 6:05:24 AM > Subject: Marathon Supremes > > Last Saturday was work on the bikes day out in the garage.
