The Schwalbe Marathon Mondials finally arrived. I got the 700 X 40 size, which worked out well. I put them on last night after a minor struggle or two and I wanted to post some photos. Only one short ride so far but the ride quality seems great. A lot smoother on-road that the Crosscuts. Here...

After a bit more digging, I decided to go with the MARATHON MONDIAL HS 428 in 700 X 40. Tiny bit narrower that the stock tires but they look really sweet. Should arrive in a week or two, so I'll post pictures when I get them. Thanks, Todd

Got a little more on tubeless from the mechanic at the local bike shop. Apparently quite common for fancier hybrids and ebikes, in addition to MTBs. Apparently very few flats but he did recommend some type of orange sealant (rather then Stan's). If you flat, he said you can now get plugs...

Has anyone ridden the Tannus tires? How do they compare to regular tires? Looks interesting and we do have a dealer not too far away ...

I found a nice tool to compare tires on bicyclerollingresistance.com Here is a comparison of the Schwalbe tires: Schwalbe Tire Comparison Based on that, it looks like the Schwalbe Marathon Greenguard might be the best choice. The Plus adds a lot of weight and rolling resistance without much...

Regardless of tubeless or not, you need a hole in the rim tape for the valve. In tubeless, the valve attaches using a nut on the inside of the rim. By boot, I mean something like this: Park Tool Boot I definitely plan to install new tires this year, just want to choose the most appropriate tire.

Good point on the weight. The Marathon Supremes were one of my favourite tires of all time. Light and supple. Just expensive. They do come in a 50-622 with a higher load rating (125 kg vs. 110 kg) at 690g per tire. They are e-bike rated for a class 1.

I have run tubeless before. They did not puncture very often but when they did -- it was catastrophic. You had to remove the tire, uninstall the valve (need to carry pliers) and try to install a tube. When I say try, the inside of the tire and the rim will be all covered in sticky sealant, which...

Just looking for some nice secure on-road tires for my Explore. The stock tires are Giant Crosscut Gravel 2, 700x45c (622x45), Tubeless Ready. They don't have a really deep tread, but there is no tread in the centre of the tire that's meant for road use. I'm considering a few models as possible...

That looks great. Thanks for the photos.

I am mostly interested in seeing what the light looks like on the bike, Thanks

@pullenj - any chance you could post a picture? Thanks!

Hi, I have a new Explore E+ 1 GTS and I am delighted with it. So far I have added a mount for my Abus Granit Lock and Shimano 2-sided pedals. I am trying to make it a bit more secure when locked up and would like ideas about protecting the Evo display. The Bosch display is removable but the...
