Agreed re: Thunder Burts. Amazing ride quality. Not the most durable for loaded gravel riding, but that's the trade off with light and supple. They fly on pavement. I'd love to try them tubeless for an even lighter setup one day. My 2.25 TB's on my Atlantis are substantially quicker than the 2.1" WTB Nano's I had before.

I'm with Tim on the Schwalbe Super Moto. I ran the 60-622 BAs for awhile, then 50-622 Supremes to fit the fenders I have. When the fenders came off and I went back to the BAs, they felt so 'clod-hoppy' that I splurged on the the 60-622 Super Moto (not 'X').

RE: [RBW] Re: Schwalbe big apples 29x2.35 on 58cm Atlantis? And other fatties
I had Thunder Burts on my Bombadil for the C group ride led by Pondero this week. They were GREAT on the towpath, and GREAT on the road on a couple of 5-10 mile off-Towpath sojourns. But I did flat once on the Towpath (the front, thankfully – the Rohloff rear isn't fun to change a tire on), so certainly not what you'd call bomb-proof.

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe big apples 29x2.35 on 58cm Atlantis? And other fatties
According to Peter White, "... if you have a bike like the Rivendell Atlantis and you won't be using fenders, you can just fit the 60mm Big Apples (with maybe 3mm clearance) and have the most comfortable ride possible." Once upon a time I rode 700c x 60mm on my Bombadil... I'm a fat-tire lover, and typically go for the fattest tires I can fit. But even I thought the 60s began to feel a bit ponderous on longer road rides. For shorter distance, especially on mixed terrain and local knocking around these were the absolute BOMB!!. I eventually settled in on 50mm BAs and felt this was the better all-round choice... but admittedly I did miss the mega-cush and comfort of the Big-Daddy Big Apples... I'm considering a pair of "Big-Mama" BAs for my Clementine 59cm... I don't care about weight... Clementine will clearly make her presence known along the Delaware River Trail from Frenchtown to Washington Crossing (and beyond). I say go BIG!!

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe big apples 29x2.35 on 58cm Atlantis? And other fatties
One thing I've learned is I much prefer soft, supple tires to stiff, flat protection tires. And I haven't had more flats (your milage will obviously vary). The ride is soo smoth. Plush. Delicious. Thunder Burts are up there on supple scale and give an amazing ride. With abandon, Patrick On Wednesday, October 7, 2015 at 7:50:41 PM UTC-6, mike gasparino wrote: > > Anyone tried this set up?

I've recently become interested in the Thunder Burts. How do they do on the pavement, compared to other tires you ridden? I've got a Surly Karate Monkey so now I can go as fat as I care to! I'm running 40mm Duremes right now but want to jump to 50-60mm tires but I want a true 50+mm tire that is relatively lightweight but with decent puncture protection. Big Apples/Bens are too heavy.

They're light, flexible, offer decent cornering grip in the dirt, and ride well on asphalt. They best thing I can say is that I don't notice they're there on pavement. Can't say that about many 2" knobbies! On Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 11:12:31 AM UTC-7, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: > > I've recently become interested in the Thunder Burts.

Chris, the TB's are as close as I've found to 2.1" 700c Compass tires. I hear slightly more road noise compared with the QB's Barlow Pass on the same roads. They are surprisingly smooth -- much smoother and more supple than the Smart Sams. I second all of David's description of them as well. I have not once thought "this ride will have a lot of pavement, so though I'd rather have gears today I'm going to take the QB -- which I did think with the Smart Sams.
