Schwalbe Big Apple 60-622
Hi. Some of you have mentioned that you are using the Schwalbe Big Apple with their 28"/29"ers. Schwalbe makes two 28" versions, one that is 2.0" wide (50-622) and one that is 2.35" (60-622). If you have a 60-622 Big Apple: Which rim are you using? Schwalbe recommends using this tire with rims not smaller than 622-25C, which are nearly impossible to find, and I would like to know wether it's possible to mount them on a smaller rim. The Sun Rhyno Lite should be a 622-22C or 622-21C, does the 28"x2.35 Big Apple work with that? Thanks, Juergen -- juergen_brauckmann - Title? What title? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ juergen_brauckmann's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/2079 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27443 |

Greg Haper has the 2.35" Schwalbe Big Apple on the Blue Shift unicycle. The rim is a 'Velocity Dyad' (http://tinyurl.com/lmo3). It's not the widest rim, but it seems to do fine with the fat Schwalbe for road riding. The fat Schwalbe makes the rim look really skinny. The rim database at airfreetires.com lists the Rhyno Lite as being 22mm wide and the Velocity Dyad as being 18mm wide. The Rhyno would be better.

I wanted to use the Rhyno Lite at the time I had the wheel built but couldn't get one soon enough. The Velocity Dyad fit the NanoRaptor and was slightly lighter so I went for it. Clearly, the Big Apple fit on it also. -- harper - Old dog, no tricks -Greg Harper B L U E S H I F T "Are you OK???" - Just about anyone I've ever ridden with ------------------------------------------------------------------------ harper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/426 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27443 |

Thanks for all your answers. I was a little bit worried because I could not find a rim that matches Schwalbes recommendation for their tire, so I wanted to here from someone that uses it on a smaller rim. Obviously it simply works... . Thanks again. Regards, Juergen -- juergen_brauckmann - Title?

They look much more like a 26" 2.1 tyre than the silly IRC Notos tyre. There's apparently 4 different versions, maybe mud, normal and kevlar or not, or something. Anyone in the UK wanting one, Trek import them as of this year, so you can buy them from Trek dealers. Oh and the big apple 700c is apparently out there too. So there's now 3 choices of 29" tyre (the other one being IRC notos 29) available in the UK. I also saw the 26" version of the big apple specced on some bikes (Surly 1x1 and something else), sounds like some other people have discovered them.
