On my new Raleigh Motus I want to upgrade the tyres, Schwalbe unfortunately don't seem to do a 700 x 42c in their Marathon range. My other choice is going to be Continental Contact Plus which I've used before and would be happy with. But.....
Are there any others you'd recommend? Cheers!
actually Schwalbe does make that tire in your size. The STUPID thing that happened is that the tire industry has changed the 700 tire size rating to a 28

The cycling tire industry for some reason decided to change the size numbers just to confuse the masses, so now the 700 size is the new 28 size, fun huh? Because you want a 40c you will need to get the 1.6, thus the tire you are looking for is a 28 x 1.6. now go back to the Schwalbe site and find that size and suddenly BOOM, there it is.
