puncture resistant tyre
My own bike has Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres which I'm very pleased
with, but they don't seem to be manufactured for a 26" rim. Can anyone suggest a good alternative? |

@c77g2000hse.googlegroups.com: My own bike has Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres which I'm very pleased with, but they don't seem to be manufactured for a 26" rim. I'm confused. A quick look at SJS turned up Marathon Plus in 26 x 1.75 See http://tinyurl.com/2s34rq , which redirects to: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-S...1.75-(47-559)- Schwalbe-Marathon-Plus-HS348-Smartguard-rigid-bead-Tyre-with-Reflex- sidewall-11490.htm Wiggle and others carry the same tyre.

ITYM inches not cm Good point! 13.5mm would be a tad narrow even for a roadie :-) To OP: Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative (wot where I remembered the widths from - used to work there) has 'em in those sizes but doesn't say anything about the 2" one being an ATB tread or not, so I'd check if you're going to order that width. www.edinburghbicycle.com/ebwPNLqrymode.a4p?f%5FProductID=4936&f%5F |
