To my surprise, they didn't fit, despite my rims being 700c and the tires also being 700x38 but the tires are ERTO 656 and my rims are 622. I decided to order the right size, Schwalbe Marathon Winter 622x30.I ordered them online at about 830 Sunday evening. Given the statement on their website about possible delays due to covid, I was prepared to receive them in several weeks, too late for this fall, but in time for next spring. They arrived Tuesday at 2pm, 46hrs after placing the order, wow! They came all the way from the fulfillment center in Ferndale Washington to my front door, across the border lickity split, faster than Superman?Again, wow! Thanks Schwalbe!
you know we're gonna wanna see them on the bike right? no pressure tho ... ;-)
