Greetings.
Anyone have experience touring on Maxxis OverDrive tires (http://www.maxxis.com/products/bicycle/product_detail.asp?id=225)?
The company literature on this product claims they are "created to meet the demands of the European trekking market." Perhaps there are some Europeans out there who may be able to verify the claim for this curious North American.
I'm specifically interested in the durability of the 700x38c size, especially with regard to longer distances on pretty crummy road surfaces. Thinking about replacing the WTB NanoRaptors on my 29" rims for something a bit faster-feeling, yet still able to withstand the rigors of 10+ mile L.A. commutes, longer (30-60 mile) weekend rides, and shorter (150ish mile) tours.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
