The Schwalbe Big Apple began the Balloonbike trend back in 2001. Comfortable cycling without the need for expensive technology. At the time it was a revolutionary idea. Today it is a growing trend and there is now a large selection of Balloonbikes with everything designed around the Big Apple.
- Built-in "suspension" which absorbs over 36% of vibrations at the handlebar
- Sidewall lists german measurement, 28x2.35
- 28 = 700c/29er
- RaceGuard features a double layer of nylon fabric, which makes for good protection on light, sporty tires

I have a Surly Ogre In Pile of Bricks Red (2019?) that came with 29x2.5 Extraterrestrial tires on WTB rims. Will these fit the rim? I cannot find info on the suggested minimum tire width for the stock rim.

These should fit the stock wheels on the Surly Ogre no problem. You wouldn't want to go much smaller than a 29x2.1" on that bike.

The Schwalbe Big Apple should fit on the Surly Rabbit Hole rim, but because of the width of the rim, you will not get the same volume of tire that you would if you used the Schwalbe Big Apple on a narrower rim.

My guess is that shouldn't be any problem. Without the added tread, I can't see there being a clearance issue since the D440 is a true mountain frame.

They are designed to be run with tubes, you may be able to use a tire sealant such as Stans No Tubes but it may void the warranty.

Awesome tires! Very happy with them. A bit pricier than I was planning, but definitely worth it. Great for commuting with. I ride faster, expend less energy, and it's just all around more fun to ride on.

These are awesome. I live in the flat land of Florida and use these to commute on paved roads. The first ride with new rubber on amazed me, no roll resistance. On a smooth paved level surface the ride is so clean you feel as you aren't moving. Have used Continental Town & Country in the past but find these to be a superior road tire.

I converted my RedLine d440 into a street bike with these tires. The ride is great. I had WTB vulpine tires on it (stock for 2010) and with these fat monster tires I cut about 5 minutes off my commute. I have to say this is a great set up for the treacherous street of NYC.

They will get noticed - either for the size, or for the reflective sidewalls.

These are the most difficult tires I have ever put on a bicycle rim. I broke a Pedro's tire lever trying to put them on. Maybe I am doing something wrong....
Just a few miles on the tires on my Surly Ogre and they feel great! They roll smooth and fast over Los Angeles' roughly paved streets and alleys.

Big Apples in 29x2.35 are pretty much the only game in town for a 29er tire with some volume (other than Fat Franks).
Fast rolling. Nice cushion. Highly recommended.

Great tires! Quite, smooth with just enough tread to ride over the loose stuff without much worry and appreciate the reflective ring on the sidewall. I put a set of 2" tires my kona unit 29er and they work great for the road. I went with the smaller profile for urban use, so they work great for me. I have a feeling if you were going to ride on some rougher paths or trails, you may benefit from the larger 2.35" tire.

On road for the winter with my Salsa Spearfish, these tires are quiet, and fast, almost made my Salsa feel like a road bike.
Not bad weight-wise, and have a reflector stripe.

I really enjoyed this tires, my 29er feels so nimble on the streets compare to the big nubbier it has on all the time, really happy with them in the street and even some mild trail use

Great tire for commuting and gravel riding on my Salsa Fargo. Lower pressure gives the bike a "full suspension" feel. Be aware of cornering on gravel, these are slicks. Highly recommend these tires. Thanks Tree Fort Bikes for such prompt service.
