Magic Mary Radial

Only if you don’t like your chans. They definitely roll slower than a soft TC – that much you can be sure of. Depends what you’re after, but these really are the first time I rode a decent modern tyre and thought ‘wow, these really are different’.

Rave review of the radial Albert from MBR here, the writer is one of the best tyre reviewers out there IMO…

I’ve tested hundreds of mountain bike tyres, and the Schwalbe Albert Radial Gravity Pro has the most planted and supremely-damped ride quality I’ve encountered

Yep – what he ^ said.

Yeah, call me curious… thinking the Mary/Albert are worth a go on the big bike, and the Chans can stay on the trail bike

And the perfectly good Continentals that I’m dead impressed with……

So MM front, Bertie on the rear?
