It has been over 2500 miles since I switched to Schwalbe One Tubeless tires. So how are they doing? Well, my flats have been reduced significantly. Actually they have been reduced to zero. This is a little tidbit I am very pleased about. I don’t think its happenstance that Steven Abraham is currently running the Schwalbe One Tubeless during his attempt to break the most miles ridden in a year record. It should make a great rando tire. The tire is the real deal. It rolls well, holds up great, and a tire I recommend you try. I have more on order, not only for myself but also for Ms. Daisy. Now there’s a pretty strong seal of approval .
However, before you decide to give them a try, be warned. Your friends and bike forum buddies are going to try and discourage you with a barrage of horror stories. Keep in mind the vast majority of these helpful hombres have never actually touched, mounted, nor ridden on a Sparrow One. It seems most all of their information is obtained from a cousin or somebody living elsewhere. Facts are it mounts as easy as a clincher once you learn how to do it and if the white sealant touches you it’s not going to bite. Certainly it isn’t nearly as nasty as a chain tattoo or the goose poop riders routinely run over on their bike paths. Give the tire a try and you decide.
