How many km on them now? I am still reeling from the fact they cost me $58 each, and lost both of them to tyre failure within 6 months. Maybe I had a bad batch, or I just had very bad luck. I was hoping they would give me similar protection as the SMP at a fraction of the weight. Right now my tyres weigh more than my frame!Drizt wrote:Tyres are marathon supreme 28c. Wife loves them.

The "Endurance" fork looks to have tons of clearance for bigger tyres, even with fender so I assume the limitation of "max 28" is on the rear, probably the cross bar on the chainstay rather than the seatstay which also seems to have spare space. Do you think larger than 28 is possible, how much larger? I have some nice Marathon Racer 35s that would be good to use if (hopefully soon when) I got a Sportive Disc. Anything your wife would change based on experience to date.
The red bartape looks good

You'll need a Cooper CX or Urbanski to get that kind of clearance on the rear.LateStarter wrote:Drizt wrote:Tyres are marathon supreme 28c. Wife loves them.

The Urbanski is the Cooper CX with traditional road cable routing (gear cables running under the downtube and under the BB, and rear brake running down the side of the top tube (8 o'clock position), but is otherwise identical.
If you run fenders I think a 35c is the max, or 37c without.

We both have sportive discs and we both love them. Jen loves her sram hydro set up and I love my shimano di2 hydro set up.LateStarter wrote:Drizt wrote:Tyres are marathon supreme 28c. Wife loves them.

+1 for Bikepro and +1 for Lynskey
I have my repaired R230 back from Lynskey via Bikepro, both great companies that look after their customers.

Hating the front SKS longboard fender. I was only running the rear but the winter weather had me wondering if I'd like a front fender as well. So far, I'm hating it.
The SKS longboard doesn't have a lot of width it has to sit quite high (away from the tyre) which means I toe overlap a lot on slow sharp turns.
I'd like a wider fender for the front so that the fender can get closer to the tyre.
If possible I'd like it so that the stays don't stick out too much past the fender (more toe overlap issues).
What do you guys suggest?

Do you use leather washers to attach at the bridge and crown? Quieted my paragons down greatly. Credit Il Padrone for the tip

My current fenders don't rattle. I've read reviews on the bontrager units (which looked great) that say they are noisy and annoyingMulger bill wrote:I've found no bad reviews, I like that.

I have them and I love them. Their coverage is immense, but it's often the case that installation is part of how mud guard performs.
Mine sit _very_ close the the tyres (perhaps too close) but the coverage is further improved as a result. Also helps with toe overlap, obviously.

The size SKS longboard fender that fits on my bike does not allow the size tyre I want. Basically the design is space inefficient. I know this because my wifes fenders (Planet bike) have more room for even wider tyres than I am using.
The longboards are sub optimal.
