I've seen the regular marathons down to £18 somewhere online.
M. Plus is just a folding version, right?

If anyone is after a 700x38c Marathon (reflective strip + smartguard)..
I have one surplus now - it's done <50 miles, £6 or 6 cans.

Nah marathon plus's are far superior... extra extra thick... 8mm i think.

Turbo trainer tyres. As used by . . . . .

ah-- gotcha shinny.
Want a regular one for the front?
I think it would fill those handsomedog forks pretty well... if your rim is wide enough.
(ooo-eerr missus!)

nah mate... no handsome dogs. got my gash surly fork FFFine and a gator on the front init!

Runt like you needs nothing more...
Come to welopolo / welobeers and take a photo of my tankbike for your polo-bikes-circlejerk thread...?

My handsomedogs fit a 32c Marathon Plus with room to spare.

Anyone got other recommendations apart from the marathon pluses?
I am eating through one of them fast. The marathon supreme I had on lasted a lot longer.
But I am open to suggestions to try something else...

aufmunch likes the ribmo's i bought one for the front to try, will let you know.

i also have a kojak 26" that has been on the front i can bring to newt sunday for beers.

i am also constantly surprised by the threads shinface has started that pop up, this is one of my particular faves.

Them ribmos look a bit like the marathon supremes.
Have you got one on your rear end Brendan?

Holy fuck! I just looked at the supreme price, 35 to 40 quid a pop. Christ.
They were the stock tyres when I bought my new bike. Didnt think they were that dear.
Good tyre though. I might put my front one on my back wheel now.

I got some cheap M+'s this evening so they'll also do me for a bit anyway.

I love your turn of phrase, dubkev... Brilliant...

i got it for the front kev. its nearly 300gm lighter than the kojak.

What 26" tyres would people say are good for polo?

Schwalbe Marathon Plus are good for skidding but also heavy.

Anyone have recommendations of grippy tyres?

If people could post their experiences with tyres then that'd be great. Make it a lot easier for us out in the sticks to draw on the city knowledge

i buy whatever has the biggest reduction at chain reaction cycles, got some mammoth WTB Graffiti SF Tyres last time, i think they're made for slick rock but worked ace on the court.

I'm using Conti Sport Conact they've been great. even in the wet. on and off court

and marathons have no grip at all. I like conti's but have marathons at mo on the back, came off my bike last night just turning a corner.
