I may well switch back... Although after fitting the marathon greenguards the other night, I did go online and buy another pair from wiggle (as they're only £13 apiece at the mo'). How many punctures have you had with the kevlars over how many miles?
Oh, and I bought some Ergon GP1 grips. I originally got cheap chinese copies of the ergo grips with little bar ends, but the bar ends are useless, take up a bit of room on the bars and kinda stab the mudguard when folded, so have gone for the real thing. Massive improvement over the standard grips.

Well no punctures with the marathon yet, but it's not exactly inspiring much confidence. Had a dodgy slide on a raised white line and then had a proper front wheel skid when a tramp strolled out in front of me yesterday evening. Don't know how I didn't stack it.
Oh and it feels slooow as well, compared to the Brompton kevlars. Don't know if that's just in my head...
