Tyres rubbing due to it's being too wide, likely to blow up on worn rims (rare but it happen), cause problem with the hinge which is the main issues.
As a rules, my workshop (with recommendation from Brompton themselves) no longer fit Marathon Plus as a precaution.
Ever notice that they don't listed Marathon Plus anymore on their site?
I've been using M+ since 2009 with no issues. One year I did +9000 miles so not a light user.
Doesn't matter, we still recommend not fitting them until Brampton find a solution (since 2014).
