Horchata, also known as orxata, is a sweet drink popular in Latin America, Spain, and parts of Africa. The drink is rice-based in Latin America, but in Spain and Africa it is made with tiger nuts (chufa). A traditional recipe always calls for cinnamon and water, but beyond that, there are hundreds of variations.
The bigger wheels, however, have been skulking around the scene for decades. In 1999, Wilderness Trail Bikes got the ball rolling in earnest when they produced the first real 29er mountain bike tire. Soon riders began touting the benefits of the bigger wheel size. And those benefits are undeniable. For starters, the big wheels roll over obstacles with greater ease than standard 26-inch wheels.
As a general guide, you can expect a tire mileage of 2000 to 5000 km from Schwalbe standard tires. The tires of the Marathon family usually last between 6000 and 12000 km. With the light Marathon Racer and Marathon Supreme, the performance is a little lower (approx. 5000 to 9000 km). The Marathon Plus is outstanding with its extremely high mileage of often much more than 10000 km.
