Schwalbe Fat Frank rear tire after 3000km of tarmac usage mostly, some offroad also. The brown dot is tread wear. There is no more creme coloured rubber there. To me that means, durability of those tires compares to narrow road racing tires.

  Nearly 3200km, I believe. Well, I basically finished off the build in June, so there was plenty of time. On the other hand, for the last month I have been feeling sick most of the time due to low temperature, winter coming, whatever, so my rate dropped drastically. Todays MTB ride was some sort of emergency action right before falling into apathy. I felt listless when starting, but it was a pretty good ride after all. Will ride the Big Dummy tomorrow
