Bikes: 87 RockHopper,2008 Specialized Globe. Both upgraded to 9 speeds. 2019 Giant Explore E+3

I had those same tires in 35MM on my 2008 Globe when I got it.
What SLUGS!
The bike was more work to pedal than my 86 RockHopper which was equipped with a rack, baskets & fenders and (at the time) 26X1.5" tires .
Globe now has 26MM tires and the 'Hopper has 26X1.25".
Much more fun to ride.
