Greetings group: I have a 2006 Road and as I have said before I love
it. I have had it for a year and I enjoy more each day I ride. Got a
question. Keep in mind..I am in shape and condition. When I
purchased my Road, it had Schwalbe Racers on it. Well, I have
practically worn them out. I rode on both highway surfaces and
chatted bike trails. I never had a flat or any problems. I had a new
set of Schwalbe Marathons put on in place of the Racers due to the
fact that they ahd a little more tread and I figured would do better
on the bike trail. Now remember..I AM IN SHAPE. Well I rode the new
tires for the first time yesterday and man......talk about slowing me
down! For real!!! Is it in my head or is there really that much
difference in the two tire types? Help!
