Alright, I'm definitely in on the talc powder. I'll be installing my Marathon Winter's very soon; I'll have to throw a little on there.
And I owe it to myself to at least try out the Big Apples/Fat Franks (especially at a price like the one listed above). I've been trying to find an excuse to try them out for some time now anyways .
Bicycle808 - either you're doing something different than I am, or you're just a helluva lot stronger than I am (the latter is certainly a possiblity ). Sun rims + most tires besides Schwalbe Delta Cruisers has been a recipe for pain for me, but the quality of performance I get out of them makes it worth it, plus I'm usually only changing the tires once a year anyways.
