The idea was to build proper bomb proof tyre that can handle anything. Which would have worked if it didn't destroy itself from the inside.
I am going to put some marathon tyres back on but they are not as reliable long term and don't protect from tacks or screws.

Are you regularly riding through building sites or something? I ran Marathons Plus for ages on the fixed and must've hit one thing (a nail) in years that actually went through those tyres. They were squared off but still rolling by the time I decided to move on to something a bit less "tractor"

Saw a francis cade video the other day where, instead of an inner tube, he used a 20mm tubular tyre. Looked pretty robust, yet I imagine rides horribly.

What was the point of this thing again? Why not just buy thicker, more durable tyres.
