I was wondering about those. I've used 2.125" Fat Apples on a 20" touring folder and a 26" around town bike and find them to ride very well, the Fat Apple is a perfecr touring tire for 20" wheels as it has a contact patch less than an inch wide but lots of extra tire when hitting bad roads and rocks.
think the Bens have the same casing so with that tread would be a great all rounder tire for dirt roads and pavement.
