So many people swear by Schwalbe Marathon Plus, but I use them on my bike and today I had my third puncture this year. After he first one in January, caused by a piece of glass in the front wheel, I fitted a brand new M+ but 6 weeks later I had another puncture, caused again by a piece of glass...
As I'm using my city bike whilst having some work done on my tourer, I decided to get some faster tyres than the 26 x 1.75 Conti Contacts that were on it to speed up my 25 mile commute. Went for 26 x 1.5 Schwalbe City Jets. At 80psi, a decently fast tyre for my purpose. BUT having had three...
Hello, I've got a 2016 Whyte Stirling and was wondering if anybody knows if the rims will take a pair of Schwalbe Big Apple tyres (28x2.00)? I don't think that frame clearance will be an issue but wasnt sure if the rims would take such a large tyre?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have a pair on my tourer. Done 4500km and no sign of any wear, nor any nasty UDI (unplanned deflation incidents). Bike is only used for tours and heavily laden at that. 26x2.0 I think
Just curious
Fitted a set of Marathons to my Marin daily commuting bike to cut down on the number of fairy visits.
Been on for a couple of weeks now and I am aware how much more nervous the bike is when cornering and in the wet especially.
Replaced ageing City jets which never gave me any concerns at...

2000km wear on each (one tour around Iceland). Not had any external punctures. Plenty of life left. Have to sell as moving house.
£30 posted for the pair.
Thanks for looking.
Through experience, I am extremely reluctant to use levers to put a tyre back on, but after thirty odd minutes trying to use my hands (I have a strong grip), I had to relent. I've heard of these tyres giving other people problems, but this was a first for me. The thought of doing this outside...
Is the Marathon Supreme supposed to be equal to or better than the Marathon Plus in terms of puncture-resistance?
Having used the latter for over 25,000 miles without a puncture, I am rather disappointed to have had three punctures in 1200 miles on the former. These have all been on the rear...
Lost commute/training session today due to yet another snapped valve.
I use a Joe Blow pump.
How do I stop this happening? More expensive tubes or am I doing something wrong?
