Kojak's are totally in right now. Also they look cool. Might get some.
Puncture-resistance for London's glassy streets?

as a grimpeur I havent punctu**d for last 1120 miles. Its my commuter, winter bike.
Given cycling is my hobby where most of my disposable income goes, I like good tyres that roll quick. I am ok to give up a little protection as a trade off. I also have latex tubes with sealant in mine. If I was a utilitarian I'd go Marathon Plus or something.

I went from Tektro RX-5 to TRP CX8.4 (Sram levers) and its a significant upgrade in braking (power and modulation) and maintenance (due to design). I run 35mm Kojaks on a wide rim with 45mm mudguards; all good.
Both have 85mm arms. IMO they shouldnt be any taller paired with standard drop bar levers.
