[RBW] Re: Atlantis! Tire question

Congrats on the Atlantis! I've owned mine just about 10 years and literally loved it to pieces. Currently waiting for a skilled frame builder to complete the repair… I currently (well, previously currently) ride 43mm Soma Shikoros on my Atlantis. They are a slick round supple tire, basically a

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis! Tire question

I have a 700c hunq and I also have run 2.0 marathon supremes and liked them a lot. Previously I had big apples, and felt the supremes were a step up in durability and cushiness. currently using 2.1 wtb nanos, which have been awesome on dirt, decent on pavement and can be found super cheap. 40mm

[RBW] Atlantis! Tire question

I've been running Bruce Gordon Rock N Roads on my 64cm Atlantis with fenders. They are a 43c label width and measure about 43mm on a mavic a719 rim. When I'm not running fenders, I like running schwalbe thunder berts in a 2.1" width. 2.1" wide tires work great without issues of toe overlap.

[RBW] Re: Atlantis! Tire question

Doug, I'm curious if you've ever tried your Atlantis with Marathon Green Guards. Wondering how they compare to the Supremes. On paper, the Supremes rein supreme, but in real world conditions I'd be curious. Of course they are heavy, but to paraphrase Grant: "With weight comes good things." I

2. I know Jon on this list has a 60cm Cheviot and he said his wheelbase measures exactly 48inches. This came up when I was looking for a hitch-mounted bike rack for my 56 cm Betty and husband's 52 cm Clem. I ended up with the Saris Freedom 4 Bike rack, which will fit a 48 inch wheelbase, if

[RBW] Re: Atlantis! Tire question

Isaac: Congratulations on having excellent taste in bikes. Be sure to post photos when you've rec'd the bike. One of the many beauties of the Atlantis is the ability to fit all sorts of big chubby tires. While 29+ may be pushing it, for your intended purpose you have tons of good choices.
