I've got a CX bike which I currently use as winter bike, commuter bike, tourning bike, and now club run bike as I've put the carbon away for the winter.
Ive been running Schwalbe Marathon (700 x 25) on it for 1600 miles, but the rear sidewall has given out, and it's got an egg that I just can't ignore.
So replacement shopping is imminent, but am unsure between:
Schwalbe Marathon Plus - put off a bit as I got the egg in the old Marathons, and they're pretty heavy for the club runs
Continental Gatorskins - less puncture protection, but should roll better for the club rides.
And then anything else anyone can think of, eg the continental GP 4 seasons etc
Basically they need to be versatile - roll well, durable, puncture resistant. Probably in either 700 x 23 or 25
Thanks guys.
