I'm running Schwalbe Marathon Winter 208's in a 29 x 2.00 on my Surly Ogre, with fenders. Other than being a challenge to install, these have been great the last three winters.
I'm sure you'll be very happy with your decision, even if it is trying your patience. I have never been one to weigh my bikes, and I don't have a scale readily available. I'm sure it falls somewhere between…
Hi, Yhano. What did you decide? After replying to your post, saying I wasn't running fenders on my Topstone 105, I ended up unintentionally commuting a couple of days in the rain lately, just because I wasn't paying…
For my Cannondale Topstone 105 I bought a second wheelset (DT-Swiss CR1600s) and mounted 28mm Continental GP5000s (tubeless) on them. I ordered them from https://www.bike-components.de/en/ , and along with brake rotors…
Hi, Yhano. I have a 2019 Topstone 105, and it is my gravel, road, single-track, fair-weather commuter bike. I've been enjoying it so much on the dirt / trails I've only ridden my fs mountain bike twice this year. I have…

Reminds me of a hot afternoon I spent climbing a pass entering the Rockies in Colorado during a tour back in the day. I was bonking, and was focused on just finishing this last climb so I could look for a place to pitch…
I don't use the full-size frame bag, but I have the Tangle on a couple of my bikes. I can fit a 2L Camelback bladder in there with no problem, and from that position on the bike the tube can pass through the front of…

I purchased a set of the 28mm from bike-components out of Germany for ~$80 / pair. Agreed, a little tight, but I was able to mount them on DT-Swiss CR1600s with some grunting and groaning (and grippy gloves). I did have…
