Say TJ, I thought you were relocating to Germany for a while? At least I remember you were talking about it last year. I assume it didn't work out? Over there the winters are so mild you could have plowed through the 1/8" of snow with 700x23's
I'm also looking at buying the Schwalbe Marathon Winter for my cross bike to train in the icy Chicago Winter. Can you actually mount the 700x35's on some Mavic Open Pro's? I thought the widest tire on those rims where 700x32's. And if you can't mount them, what rims are you using?
