Preparing my bike for winter commuting.......

......I've just replaced its original rear Marathon plus, after eight years and no unplanned deflation events.
Not bad, eh?

Now that is not bad at all.

I did used to run Marathon Plus but they were just to hard going for me.

I used to run mine at their suggested max psi and found it unpleasant. Now I run them about 45/50 psi and they're surprisingly plush......I still wouldn't say they're exactly fast, but they don't feel as sluggish.
But I don't care about speed on a commuting bike.

I had a mountain bike that did not get a flat tire in the 15 years I had it. I used it a lot when I first got it, left it alone for a long time, then started using it again. When it finally got a flat tire, I just bought a new bike.

I don't think Marathon Plus tyres were designed to be fast But they are bombproof. Well until you give them to Jannie. She managed to puncture her rear tyre 2 weeks after I fitted it. Why is it she can never puncture a front tyre?
