I'm an Industrial Engineer, but the literal translation from Dutch would be more along the lines of '
Technical Business Administration'. So I'm more along the lines of "
Perfection is the enemy of good enough".
When I test rode the 42x622 tyres on my girlfriend's commuter (which
originally came with 28x622 tyres) I was really struck with how plush the ride was compared to the 38x622 Schwalbe Marathon Supreme's on my own bike. And that was compared to the tractor like Schwalbe Road Cruisers. So it's good to see the difference put into numbers.
I can certainly understand the appeal of 48mm tyres here.
