Thanks for the info. The look very interesting me, but I'm having a hard time finding them available in a 26". Any recommendations on where to purchase these?

Looks like the Big Apple are similar but they have an extra belt and and therefore are heavier.

You can purchase them directly from Schwalbe here. I think it's getting increasingly more difficult to find these in a 26" fitment. My wife had some Big Apples and they're wire bead with a reflective strip and much heavier.

I actually have a fork for the Wojcik that Circle A made for me that will accommodate 27.5 (has the same axle to crown as the 26) and like the Super Moto X in the 27.5x2.4 fitment. I might go that route for the next build of the Wojcik.

Thanks for the input and I did see they were available on Schwalbe's website...just hoping to find them a little cheaper

White Bikes Thread

Fiiiiiinally got this build done. Just gotta get the chorus top cap to mate with the expander plug in the ouzo pro. Not an easy task apparently.

Sorry for the crap pic.

Black and white together, though not quite as tasty as a black and white.
