SCHWALBEG-One Speed 700 x 38c (40-622) Evo Folding MicroSkin Tubless OneStar Bike Tire( 28 X 1.50 ) , Black

Enjoying riding the 700x38's on pavement, dirt, and the average gravel road.When new these tires were very difficult to mount on HED Tomcat rims, 3 levers+ and getting the bead to seat took an air compressor and a lot of massaging. Didn't get much better after 500 miles, the bead self dis-mounted when I pulled a valve stem for replacement. The bead was slightly easier to seat tho, but still required an air compressor.

Decent mostly on-road option for a relatively smooth rolling resistance. I’ve run them for hundreds of miles on gravel and hardpack (flat, rollers and hill climbs). No real single track. The run well at low pressures, tubeless of course. The mounted up on Stans rims with no problem and seated a bead perfectly. The tread is really short, like a few millimeters, so they roll well, don’t collect dirt/mud. Decent turning grip, but certainly not aggressive. Never punctured and I’m definitely not a careful, baby the tire, rider.I can’t make any great claims in real mud...not a usual condition here in Colorado, at least for me.My biggest complaint is long term durability. They just didn’t last more than a few hundred miles on the rear tire. Fronts do fine, but under weight and pedal they just wore down faster than I’d hope.

The pros: easy to mount and tubeless popped right in place on Mavic UST rims using a standard floor pump. Comfortable ride on road and hardpack/gravel.The cons: wore out on my rear wheel in under 1000 miles. Front still has tread, will guess it to last 2k. I've had Schwalbe tires last 2500+, but not these. Rode 90% on pavement, with about 100 miles of random trail. Ended up with a bald center and flats the sealant wouldn't handle. Not a tread pattern for road use in my opinion, and switching to a treqd with a more solid centerline.

This tire came stock on my bicycle. It preformed so well on road and off that I bought the exact same tire to replace them when they wore out.The down side is that they are ridiculously tough to remove and reinstall. I tried to install the replacement set tubeless, but after several hours of frustration I gave up and took them to the local bike shop. The shop gave up on them too. I ended up breaking two tire levers and cracking a rather nice HED wheel trying to reinstall the tires with tubes. I'm not going to wrestle with these tires ever again. The gravel market is hot right now, and there are lots of other good tire options hitting the trails.

Been running Schwalbe Hans Damphs on my MTB for a few years and got these for a new touring/adventure bike build. Excellent traction on pavement, grass, and crushed stone trails. Solid in corners. I run these at 50 PSI without any issues, good balance for control, comfort, and not banging the rim.

Went on great, filled up with a regular pump. Within the first 30 miles got a 1/4" gash that spread to about 3/8", Stans did not seal it. Put in an expensive dynaplug. Too small so I put in a second plug. Barely got home then within 2 hours the seal around the plugs broke and shot sealant all over my room. I'll never ride these again.

These tires came on my new bike but sprang leaks all the time. Never saw anything puncturing them. I’m trying one more time. So far so good. They do roll well on pavement and grip pretty good in the gravel.

Absolutely rocking crossbike tire for both dirt and commuting. Im running it tubeless on Botranger rims.
