first ride with magic mary (SG carcass, trailstar) in yonks and damn, what a mighty fine tyre. grips as good as the E13 (yes, it's been that long since I've ridden schwalbe upfront that i can't even remember how it feels), but it feels like it rolls quite a bit faster. That is, climbing felt easier, corners came a bit quicker than I expected.. all signs of quicker roller.

Make peace, dear brother. Admit thy fault and embrace the spurned rubber once more.

Preach it! Can't wait to get one up front on my enduro. These modern long and slack bikes do need a decent front tyre to make up for the lack of weight over the front wheel. A butcher just doesn't cut it. That said, when you ride a MM up front on a HT, as I do, you realise how much drag there is. Grip is even more insane.
