Schwalbe Rapid Rob Pneu

Good tubless tyre i normally have this make or the Giant .

Been using Schwalbe on all our Mtbs' but not my near daily commute bike but thought I'd give these a try (been using contis' for years but getting expensive now). Had them on for a couple of weeks now and they're very smooth, comfortable, quiet and roll great. Good price too! Only time will tell how long they'll last but feel great!

They came in a lovely box, out of the box they look average quality. Not got off to a good start these are the most difficult tyres I have ever known to fit over a rim (Hunt), after 15 years of experience. I'm marking my expensive new rims with the plastic tyre leaves such is the force required force to get them over the rim. I am working at room temperature not a cold garage. Already one Specialised tube down and will have to repeat the battle. I cannot imagine being able to fix a puncture by the side of the road forget it. My first Schwalbe road tyre after years of conti and other brands and I regret buying them. I am tempted to say they are faulty. Hope they perform well on the bike. I always feel the tyre between thumb and foreigner to get an idea of robustness that unscientific way tells me they are in the racy end of all season tyres.

This tyre was supplied in error, but sorted out by Sigma

I was impressed by the quality against the price point so this is actually my second set and first time giving the review.
