    Schwalbe Johnny Watts (and other Schwalbe SUV tyres) User Club

    I found it: But looking at the profile I could imagine that as soon as the middle has become a straight even line from wearing down the knobs that stand out 1 mm or so, then looking like the Schwalbe Hurricane, the rolling resistance on roads will get lower. Aside from that the Johnny is...

    Unfortunately Schwalbe has moved the Marathon Plus MTB from the Trekking/Road rating system into the MTB rating system. Maybe you can find the old one from a feew months ago in which you could still see the regular rating. The MTB rating system unfortunately doesn't specify the road and off road...

    Let us know about how the Marathon Plus MTB is. On paper it has a relatively high rolling resistance. Other than that the stats are good.

    Have you tried out the G-One Allround yet? It's the G-One with thicker tiny knobs and better protection. Seme like the perfect gravel tire to me.

    I got them. Suspension of these tires is like riding on clouds, even a higher pressures they are great ! Noise is good for a knob tyre but quiet, a word often used here to describe them, they are clearly not. They are clearly audible. Also the breaking power at the front wheel lacks a little...

    New Schwalbe Ebike Tire for 2022

    I rund them front and back in 2.35 x 27.5. They run rather small. I measured 57 to 58 mm instead of 60 which those were supposed to have according to schwalbe. COmpared to the Johnny Watts, which I ran before, they are way more silent and do have substancially lower rolling resistance. Grip...

    Here is a graph showing the deviations (dots) from the longtime median temperatures. The graph at the top showes the raw data and the graph below the so called "adjusted" data. If you compare the graphs it should became clear what the "adjustments" really mean.

    It's a lot easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. (Mark Twain) See, the fact that consent can be manufactured and used to fool people so easily was already too much to handle for some here. Trying to shield oneself from arguments one doesn't like to hear is...

    For the masses perception is reality. The only thing that changed regarding wildfires is that the media has increased the intensity, frequency and especially the dramatic with which they report them plus they didn't cover those who happened on the other side of the globe back then, now they do...

    That is classic herd thinking of the stupid masses. That's why this 97% lie was created in order to generate this exact reaction from people. They know that hardly anyone actually reads how the 97% came about. It was a survey from a student who send this question via email to a bunch of...

    global warming

    First of all the ice mass of the south pole is growing. That is a fact. Regarding the melting of the glaciers and the north pole, most people including scientists if they don't lie on purpose falsely believe that the acelleration of the shrinkage of a glacier actually means that that the ice...

    I got them now. I haven't had time to ride much but the first impression (tarmac only) is good. They are quite quiet when you ride straight but when you corner a little harder they get louder. I haven't yet cornered to the maximum angle yet but I would be interested in how they do when...

    This is my bike. I ride 90% + on tarmac roads to commute. How much worse is the Johnny Watts on tarmac/pavement than the Hurricane? On the weekends I go offroad to enjoy myself, but mostly when it is dry, because I don't want to spend more time cleaning than riding, so no mud. Since I don't...

    That is pretty amazing that Hurricanes are better in every way on pavement/tarmac. This is the kind of information you only get from practial experience from someone who could make a direct comparison with all other variables being the same. And I assume that by saying that the Hurricanes are...
