asked by: a guest Will they fit on regular Mt 26 wheel?
A.
anwered by: jackivey If the rim has an internal width measurement of about 20mm-28mm then yes. A lot of older standard MTB rims fit within this standard.

asked by: a guest Will these fit a catrike tadpole. If so do they roll better than a Marathon on a trike.
A.
anwered by: canteau Cattrike doesn't seem to list the Tadpole on their website anymore. The Big Apple will roll about the same as the Marathon but offers a larger air volume for a smoother ride.

Like this tire. This tire when inflated at lower pressures smooths out the ride. It has a little more rolling resistance when inflated at the lower pressures.
