Tyre decisions...

So I fitted the 26"x2.0" Schwalbe Marathon Duremes and set out on a test circuit around Mt Coot-Tha. But I was immediately dismayed at how slow these tyres are, and how much extra effort it takes to bring them up to speed.
So next I mounted the 2.0' Supremes and set out on a 60km test ride. and was pleased with the outcome - the tyres are almost as fast as the 1.6" Supremes I've been training on. So the decision is made - the 2.0" Supremes it will be for the upcoming New Zealand tour...
