Got them fitted today ready for my commute tomorrow

Big Apples for my 29er arrived from Fawkes today. As mentioned above, they are 28 x 2.35. Surprised how little tread there is, I'm guessing they are hard wwearing? I know they do the Big Bens with more tread, shame I couldn't find any in the 2.35 size. Hope to be fitting them tonight.

Ive been commuting with my Smart Sams for 18months come rain or shine and have never had any problems with them in the wet.

Looks like its going to have to be the standard Apples in 29 x 2.35 as I just can't find the Plus version anywhere. https://www.fawkes-cycles.co.uk/2473969/products/schwalbe-big-apple-29-x-235-raceguard-puncture-protected-tyre.aspx

The Big Apple in the Plus version isn’t easy to find in 29 x 2.35 size. Fawkes have the standard Big Apples available which I might have to opt for instead.

So would the 2.0 size be too narrow for my Cube Reaction Race? Would the 2.35 be better?

Thanks, I think I now just need to decide between Big Apple Plus and Big Ben Plus. The Bens seem very similar other than having a thicker tread, and are £10 dearer.

Nice find :) They are advertised as 28 x 2.0 If they fit 29ers then I think I will order them. Is there much difference between 2.0 tyres and 2.35?

Struggling to find the Plus version in 29er size. Up to now I've only found Big Apple 29 x 2.35 @ £24.75 Big Ben 29 x 2.0 @ £17

Thanks. I was originally wanting the Big Bens but can only find them in 29 x 2.0 whereas the Apples go up to 29 x 2.35 which I assume adds a little more comfort?

Thinking of getting a set of these for commuting on my Cube Reaction Race with 29" wheels, but most sellers advertise them as 28" tyres. Are they one and the same? Or do they actually do them in a 29" size as well?

I fond this interesting to watch...

Decided buy a bigger front sprocket and so purchased the necessary tools to change it - crank puller and Chainring lock tool. Took the crank arm and sprocket off my bike, unwrapped the new sprocket, and dropped it. Its a strange feeling watching a brand new front sprocket bounce on the floor and...

Does EMTB jump from Tour straight to Turbo, or dos it go to Sport mode in-between?

Fitted it today on a detachable mount, works a treat and I can get the crank at face height making maintenance more comfortable

I have an earlier version Badass dongle on my 2018 Cube Reaction Race 500 29r, and it works brill. I wouldn't like to ride without it.

I’ve seen the future, and the future is electric :D

My bike is too heavy for that hoist. My electric hoist will be used around the house such as garage and loft etc.

A bargain at only £1,749 :D

Just purchased a lifting hoist for when I'm working on my ebike in my garage, as I find that my bike stand doesn't lift my ebike as high as i'd like it to, with me having to either bend down to work, or pull up a stool to sit on. I've started hanging my ebike from the garage roof but its a heavy...
