Chris,
I had to ask my 14 year old son what KABLEWIE means (cable-why?) and he laughed as he said that's
ka-blew-ee!!
I've had pretty good luck with Schwalbe Stelvios on my Tour Easy, so I am surprised you had so much
trouble with Schwalbe Marathons, although I have no experience with Marathons. I do appreciate
Comets, however, and thought that when I replaced the Comets on my EZ-1 with Tioga Comp Pools that
it felt as though the brakes were dragging.
We'll have to meet one of these days.
