Hi All, I was the lucky buyer of Andrews Rock and Road tires (thanks Andrew!). I was hoping to use these on my Hunqapilar, and now I'm reconsidering. Not because I lack clearance for these, but I'm having the opposite problem. That is, I've become accustomed to the 50mm Schwalbe Duremes which are just a bit wider than these. I've become such a fan of how these Duremes work on the mix of road and trail I ride on the Hunqapilar, I'm afraid the Rock and Roads are just going to sit unused. So, I'd like to pass these along to anyone else who can put them to use. I only mounted one of these and did ride them at all. Same price as the first round...$80 shipped, PayPal prefered.
