  • MP are puncture proof, but are hassle, heavy and ride a bit like dead wood..

    Yes, I have them on my Brompton, but I think that their puncture resistance outweighs the disadvantages. I absolutely never want to get a puncture on a Brompton, especially the rear. My partner won’t notice the difference between the Marathons she has on her Brompton at the moment and the Pluses (except for less punctures).

  • It's not the thickness of the tyre, it's how rigid the casing is which makes it not sit and sometimes pop off.

    Marathon is still my go to.

    Do you mean when riding or when fitting the tyre?
