Schwalbe Marathon

[Just zis Guy, you know?]

Anyone know if you can get Marathon or Marathon Plus on 28 x 406?
I've got Marathons on the tandem, but they are 38 or something. I
want something a bit less fragile than Stelvios for the 'bent now I
don't use it much.

Is it the 406 or the 28 you're questioning? There's a 40-406 marathon
on the back of my Trice, but last I looked the 20" marathons were
quite wide.

The 28. Anything much bigger won't fit with mudguards.

http://www.schwalbe.co.uk/c2-1073-marathon.html suggests you can't.

http://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/html/tyre_guide.shtml lists some sizes
that www.schwalbe.co.uk doesn't, but the Stelvio is the only 28-406 shown.

Try St John Street bikes. If they haven't got it, you can't get it.

the 406x38 on the front of my Streetamchine and similar on the front of
Roos' Fiero disagree... (Roos switched out Stelvios for them, as a
matter of fact). We both have standard SKS 'guards.

The only skinny 406 Schwalbe do is the Stelvio - next up is the Kojak which
is, IIRC, a 35. I've successfully used a Vredestein S-Lick - which IIRC
was about 33/34 mm wide - on the front of my Speedmachine with a mudguard,
so a Kojak /might/ fit.

Mine does not have much in the way of clearances.
