Schwalbe One update (tube and tubeless)

I posted an update on the front tubeless installation here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ess-update#top

This is an update on the new Schwalbe One tires.

We had a long discussion over lunch and then later in the car. Chris, my dear wife and stoker, wanted a detailed update on the wheels and tires that I have on the bike. We have now ridden outside 3 times on the new Schwalbe One tires. The front is the tubeless and the rear is a tube type. Both tires are new for this riding season. The reason that she wanted to know is that she has noticed that the ride at her end is SIGNIFICANTLY improved. It feels like the tires are not hitting the ground, almost like we are just floating along. Her quote not mine. I have also made the observation that the bike is amazingly smooth and quiet. This is a bike that we have ridden almost 15,000 miles. The new Schwalbe One tires have done something very nice to the ride. I did not realize that changing tires could make such a dramatic difference. 23 front 25 rear.
