I fail to understand what Mitz means. There are Schwalbe tyres and there are Schwalbe tyres. The Big Apple is a fast and comfortable slick road tyre. Fit it to a mtb with a rigid steel fork and you have a rather nice tourer, provided of course that fit and geometry are right. Avoid stretched out racy geometries. It will not be a fast tarmac tourer, but it will be a tourer for backroads and gravel roads. Fit 26x1.75 Pasela TG tyres, and the bike will be even faster.

Sorry Willem, my wife says I dont make sense at times also.
Yes, you are right ... I wasn't really making a point about the tyres, more just about the type of bike in my opinion that would be best for the trip. As I said at the start, I'm no expert .. I'm just passing on what I learned from you lot over the last months
