Hay guys new to fixed gear bikes just picked up a mongoose Maurice and was thinking of slapping a set of schwalbe marathons on it as I'm gonna be riding it to work every day in all weather and wondered what the best size would be I will also be doing some general messing around on it too and I would like to fit some chain adjusters but there is not much axel sticking out on the stock hub set up any ideas??

Cheers

Hello There, I've been using continental sport contact 700 x 28C. for a couple of years. they're fairly light, 1 puncture and the roads are like a ploughed field in places. tug nuts are necessary for pratting about. mine are quite thin, NKS ones from HUBJUB. hope this helps.

I ran Durano plusses for a while and really liked them!
700x28 is what you want.

Oh another thing I thought you'de like is "restraps" from charliethebikemonger.
I tried toeclips and clipless but I think thes are the business. I took a risk as they cost £25 but well worth it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
