New tyres (37mm Schwalbe Marathon Plus)


I've had these on my winter bomb-proof hybrid for a couple of years,
which is wheeled out on days when I *do not* want a puncture. Great
peace of mind!

Indeed. The main thing I want on my about-town bike is 100% reliability
so these fit the bill. Heavy and slow, but very solid.

I'd have gone for hub gears as well, but I couldn't really justify the
expense of a switch. Maybe next time.
