I posted a subject on here some time ago about these new tyres. Last week I had a train ride with my Brompton over to Sutton Coldfield to a local Tannus stockist to have my existing Marathon Plus tyre on the front wheel replaced with another bright red Tannus tyre! (I have this colour to match my red frame ends) The 'ride' is normal to me and the speed situation seems the same. Its nice not to have to re-pump the front tyre every time I use the Brompton, and of course the worry concerning punctures has gone. Actually the 'ride' situation was a pretty pointless thing to worry about as the tyre pressure was 80+pounds which means that the Marathon Plus tyre was harder than the Tannus tyre....in fact I found it VERY hard to depress the Marathon Plus with my thumbs but the Tannus had 'give' on being pressed in the same manner! So there you are , no worries 'out there' in wildest Worcestershire with un-wanted flat tyres in the middle of no-where and no palaver......
