My touring tyres... Am I just being paranoid?

[John the Monkey]

I dunno. If the Plus in "Marathon Plus" is the puncture protection and the Marathon, in Schwalbe's own words is "The original. The archetypal high quality touring tyre." then I'd say that Marathon Plus is a touring tyre (with puncture protection).

Whereas I'm currently commuting on "Continental Touring Plus" tyres (which have yet to tour ).

Why not do it now, in the rain, to make the practice run even more realistic

Stick a pair of soaking wet gloves in the fridge first, then wear those for thirty minutes to get your fingers nicely numbed

You could try Marathon Deluxe - I have just put 35mm on my CX and they are superb.

Much lighter than what you have plus same puncture protection level.

The monkey is a heretic! Stone him!

Yes but, when you have practised and know what you are doing you can just laugh about things like that happening........
