I've tried a number of Scwalbe tires for XC and road. For slower speed XC
technical I like the Nobby Nic, racing Ralph is good too when it's firmer out.
Tried the Fat Albert on the Nomad because they are pretty light and I have
steep climbs ti ride in Whistler. Side nobs are too flexy and I was loosing
them. All were under cut from wear. Turn hard on a firm surface and the back
end would kind of swimmy like psi was too low. I liked the traction from Hans
Dampf but slow rolling and too heavy for my tastes.
I have a bunch of time on their new tubeless road tire. Mounts easy and ride
is phenomenal.
Their nomenclature though. God dang it is so German. Of course they aren't the
only manufacturer with goofy names.
