...ded tyre rider. Fitted the Marathon Winters to a spare pair of wheels this afternoon, with a bit of fettling at the same time. I went for a quick ride round the block and what a strange noise they do make, the sort of crackling that is imagine would come from permanently running over broken glass.
They also feel a bit... I don't know... wibbly? They felt like they were flat when I turned into a corner, as if they slid for a few cms before turning.
There was surprisingly little extra drag, though. They (26x1.75) felt faster than the (26x2.1) tyres on my hard tail.
