My suggestion would be to support the bent specific vendors both on line and locally. For tires or
tyres, Zach Kaplan is a real authority and his knowledge can save you money in purchasing the best
tire for your needs first. He can be reached at zakaplan at earthlink dot net.

I usually try to support shops that specialize in recumbents. Mostly Hostel Shoppe
(http://www.hostelshoppe.com/) because they have the best on-line catalog.

You can go right to the source and purchase or just get good info and purchase local.

This is the best suggestion. I use the Hostel Shoppe when my local LBS cannot get what I want for one reason or another.

OR if that address freezes up your computer - as it did mine - www.schwalbetires.com works for me. I
ordered Schwalbe Marathon Plus (extra compound) for my TerraTrike (A+!!), so I just ordered 3 more
for my Optima.

Chris, Thanks for the alternate link. I forgot to mention I really like Schwalbe 349 tubes. They
are tough and hold pressure extremely well. I have not tried their other sizes so I can not
speak for them.

Thanks for the advice so far. I'm not trolling for responses but I am still looking at tires. Right
now, I am still considering Comets (Burley just started using them, looks like kevlar is the latest)
Schwalbe (which you think, Marathon Slick/Plus?).
Good source of inner tubes too? Are there any presta valves.

It will be a while before I buy another, even though some folks have good results with them. I
recently replaced my comet @ 1000 mi, it was chopped up from small rocks n stuff. Punture it by
looking at it. I bought a Schalbe Marathon Kevlar slick and so far I love it. Is it slower? Maybe, I
don't know. It is heavier and thicker, and that is desireable on my daily ride.
> Good source of inner tubes too? Are there any presta valves.
My LBS has both types.

And after all these years I always thought everyone wanted round tires, not bent ones! {rimshot}

If speed is the concern go with the slicks. If you carry weight, tour, ride in the rain or want a
"cushioned" ride go with the plus. I have both. Both are great. The Primos just don't compare re:
longevity. Lon HepCat

After 2 weeks of no e-mail response from Schwalbe, or 5 bike shops, I pretty much give up. Next time
I go on vacation long distances I will buy tires miles away. My Optima has Vredestein tyres so I
tried 2 weeks now to get them, and Schwalbes for my TerraTrike.
No answers.
BAH!
At this point even a bent tire sounds good!

Hi Chris,
If you can't buy them locally, I highly recommend Jude at the Wheel Doctor, 1-800-586-6645. He is a
knowledgeable poster to this NG, charges fair prices and doesn't kill you on high "shipping and
handling" fees. Plus he's a good guy! Regards, Greg Dorfmeier, Smyna, GA RANS V2 #005
