SCHWALBEMen's Land Cruiser Active Line Twin Skin SBC Wired Tyre

I have been running Schwalbe Land Cruisers on my "town and country" hybrid for donkey's years. They are heavy and a bit stiff but I haven't had a flat in a decade. But these new fangled gravel bikes and their go anywhere tires got me to thinking...The Smart Sam has shown itself to be more responsive and resilient than the Land Cruiser. It handles small and large gravel and loose dirt better than the LC. I don't go offroad with the bike these tires are on but there is a huge variation in the quality of the surfaces I must negotiate in my city. The only annoying characteristic of the SS is that it can catch and hold very small pebbles in the tread blocks but a turn or a quick shimmy will usually dislodge these. If the long term durability is as good as the handling and the ride these will be my tire for the duration.

I've been very happy with the performance of these tires, especially how they've held up over time. I'm accustomed to tubeless tires on my other bikes, so I worry about getting lots of flats on non-tubeless ones like these. But even with having to ride through broken glass sometimes, they have proven themselves to be hardy.

Can only rate right now about the product on the basis of first impression, have to see how it goes in longer run. The delivery packing could have been done better in my opinion.

This was a good value replacement tyre

Alles super!

大きなダンボールで保護された状態で届きました。商品もしっかりしていて満足です。

Der Schwalbe Smart Sam Performance war bereits montiert als ich das Fahrrtad vor 5 Jahren gekauft hatte. Ich bin die 5 Jahre ohne Probleme damit einen Mix aus Asphalt, Schotter und festen Waldwegen gefahren, wofür er aus meiner Sicht gut geeignet ist. Das ist ein solider Fahrradreifen mit gutem Pannenschutz.
