Enter to Win 1 of 3 Sets of Schwalbe Tires - Pinkbike's Advent Calendar Giveaway

 I'll take the "Shot at dawn" please

 Cake or Death?





(YouTube it)

 @pakleni: I hereby challenge you to a duel!! *Glove slap*

 The size of the execution too. I believe it is time to…gnarfle the Garthok!

 Trial by combat

 @chillescarpe: It wouldn't work. I live in Switzerland. You should know how overinsured we tend to be. I'll bet you that I'm paying to be covered even in that case

(the end of the year expenses summary syndrome)

 Have you seen Monty Python - The Meaning of Life? If so, there is a scene where a guy gets to choose his own death. It is not a bad way to go.

 Sounds like somebody killed somebody's father.

 I'll take "Death by a MILLION Bike Park Rides" Alex.

 I lost all the drawings so far. (is that a real thing?)

 I think around Jan 1 it should list all the prizes and winners. That's how it was in 2015. (I randomly clicked the 2015 button the other day to get a look back in time).

 @DylanH93: Can you show me how the 2015 button works? I'd like to revisit from time to time. Maybe change a few things.

 @noapathy: I'm not seeing it on mobile right now, but on a desktop when you scroll to the bottom of the home page it's got all the years as links. Really interesting to see how much better the bikes look.

 @DylanH93: A 2015 button?? Man, I'd like to use that to go back & order a shit ton of Shimano spares from CRC!! lol

 They used to publish who won, but haven’t seen anything this year.

 @GT-CORRADO: That's what I'm sayin! Or maybe just a whole used bike for less than retail?

 Here here!

 Will be perfect on my bighit !

 Anything under 32" is truly unrideable.

 29 in the front 26 in the rear.

 @r-macattack: The good ol' 69er. Nice.

 69 is good, everyone happy. No need to bother with the middle ground if you cover both ends of the spectrum.

I think it is not yet in the shops, but it is already listed on their homepage.

 @bashhard: oh yeah, just checked their site, it's about time, now if they could do a dual compound soft/ultra soft big betty and/or hans damf for the rear!

 Definitely!! Also if they could make them a bit lighter, I wouldn't feel worse. I actually prefer the previous versions...

 If they don't filter through to us in time, consider the WTB Verdict High Grip (not Tough carcass) as a front tyre instead.
Great compound & carcass and seems just as versatile as a Mary - maybe a bit better in mud.

 Haha I just swapped my old magic mary for an Assegai. Definitely both very good tires. I've still got a hans dampf on the back with zero side knobs left. Thinking of putting my barely used dhf on back. With that "weird zone" on the dhf, seems like it could be great for the back. Anyone tried something like that?

 @DylanH93: I actually have this exact same setup, magic mary on front and Hans Dampf on rear with 0 side knobs, replaced that Hans with a ~50% DHF from last season so I don't have to drop a couple hundred on tires at the beginning of 2022 season.

 @DylanH93: Standard answer: DHFs on the rear used to work pretty well for Sam Hill back in the day.

 @ream720: my hans dampf rear lasted about half as long as MM front. Addix EVO snakeskin

 @DylanH93: I have a soft super gravity hans dampf on the back at the moment and considering the compound isn't that soft it's wearing pretty quickly.

 There are three sets to win. Each set contains three sets of tires. I assume a set of tires is two tires so in total they get you six tires if you win a set. So they'll sending out 18 tires in total. From what I understand each set (of three pairs of tires) is 200USD which seems tight. You're probably getting the wired Performance model. It probably says somewhere in the fine print that these pictures are for illustration purposes and the actual product may differ at the discretion of Schwalbe. Which all seems super fair to me as investment (clicking a link) is low. How do you know I speak the truth? Let's face it, I've spoken the truth before (or so I have been told) so the likelihood of me being correct is bigger than any of us winning this prize. You didn't click either, did you? Me neither so there you have it. We can't verify whether I was correct, better just take my word for it.

 Right???

I won, told them the 3 sets/6 tires I wanted... that was the week of the giveaway when they told me I won.

Just got an email back today informing me that it's only 1 set of 2 tires....

 Schwalbe's gone for Maxxis, dou-ble down for me There's no soft in Little Joe But is in Big Bet-ty

 Perhaps a fatbike tyre named Round Rosie?

 I wait until I see last year's clearance and get tires for the whole family.

they do disclose it after a while

 @fruitsd79: ah ok, thank you

 Yeah they should give you a year's supply of tyres - 52 pairs should cover it...

 Didn't Michelin only offer one set of tires? And it wasn't even their most popular lol? Rough times.
