Review on SCHWALBE Apple Trekking Active Black by Ramon Hood

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad continuation best in cycling

This is my second set of large Schwalbe apples. I had the first set in 5 years without a single puncture. Wonderful! The rear tire was a bit worn towards the end, but it's my fault for not changing it every year. The second movement, however, is a completely different story. First, the quality of the rubber was noticeably worse right out of the box. Within the first month, the reflective strip began peeling off the patches. After about six months, hundreds of tiny cracks formed on the surface. I had my second puncture in less than 18 months and the rear tread is completely worn out. One difference between the first and second sets was that the first set was dark black rubber compound while the second set was light gray. . In any case, the gray mixture is weaker and less durable than the original black.

Pros
  • Tire
Cons
  • Slightly torn
