FS: 3 pairs of new Schwalbe Big Ones, 622X60, the ultralight model

[Patrick Moore]

Two NIB, 1 perhaps mounted but not ridden. 

These measured 61 mm on my 27 mm IW rims at 17-18 psi.

These roll as fast as RH’s best extralight road tires; at least, I found that they seemed as easy to maintain speed, gearing and conditions same, as the extra-ultralight (175 gram) RH 559 Elk Pass. Schwalbe claimed after they came out that, at the time, they were their fastest-rolling tires; bar none.

They float superbly over sand up to 3” deep, but they have minimal tread. 

They do wallow a bit in turns on pavement, whether at 17 psi or at 30 psi; that’s a common perception. But it’s not horrible; I rode them for 7-8 years on my dirt road bike, combined pavement and dirt riding.

I had no problems with flats, goathead or otherwise, when tubeless with OS Endurance — I think I had 2 punctures that sealant would not seal over several years, and plugs fixed 1, the other was a fluke 1/3” hole caused by an errant piece of sharp cane and resulted in a 5 mile walk home.

$50 each plus shipping. Takem all for $120 plus shipping.

But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish,

I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known.
