I've got 50 mm Supremes (46 mm on Dyad rims). Nothing wrong with them, but I think there's enough room for bigger, so I'm really really tempted to try to squeeze 60 mm BAs under the fenders... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Odd, I've always found the Supremes to be surprisingly noisy. It doesn't bother me, as they are wonderful tires. I believe they last longer in proportion to cost. My buddy Weasel got almost 9000 loaded commuting miles on the rear! His front tire, also after 9000 miles, looked almost new. --

I say go with 50mm Duremes. After all, these are going on a Bombadil. --mike On May 2, 5:29 am, Marty mgie...@mac.com wrote: Need a new set of tires for the Bombadil, and considering Big Apples or Supremes. I noticed Riv has both in 700 x 50, and wondered if anyone here has either/or.

I have ridden both. The website claims decent protection for the Big Apple, but I ended up with a few flats. The Supremes have been very kind to me with no flats and a VERY nice ride. Of course, I'm riding a Big Dummy so YMMV. The Supremes are quite a bit more expensive. Schwalbe isn't trying

Thanks for the inputs. I think I'll go with the Supremes this time around. After all, on a Bombadil, there Ain't No Mountain High Enough! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this discussion on the web visit

The Supremes are also a bit lighter, not that that matters much... :-) I'm now using Duremes (50) on my Huqapillar and I like them very much as well. René On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 8:33 AM, Marty mgie...@mac.com wrote: Thanks for the inputs. I think I'll go with the Supremes this time around.

I've used both. Like the Supremes better. But to confuse things more, my wife has Big Apple Liteskins on her bike and prefers them over regular BA or the Supremes. And the bike that had Supremes now has Schwalbe Kojaks on it and those might be my favorite so far. None are a bad choice.

Hi there, I ride both tires in 50mm on an Atlantis and Hunqapillar. This weekend I rode the Atlantis with the Big Apple on the front and Supreme in the back. I like both for they offer a plush ride and provide peace of mind with their puncture protection. However, if I had to pick one, I'd go with
