I made an exception: I put Kenda tires on my English 3-speed, and I like how they feel better than the expensive Schwalbe tires.
Hi Tom. How do the Kendas feel on the Rudge compared to the Schwalbe tires? I really like how my Panaracer col de la vie tires feel on my three-speed, and I want to recreate that experience for my gf's '72 Sports rebuild but with a little more protection for her commutes. Are the Schwalbe tires dull feeling? The greenguard regular marathon tires I had on my hybrid were pretty dull. I've discovered the folding 27" Pasela PT tires for my touring bike, and they are fantastic. I'm putting a new pair of those on my Peugeot's new 700c wheelset when the time comes.
