Default Marathon ride

No no, not marathon as in long, Marathon as in Schwalbe. Herself is
delighted with the new tyres, the dynamo does not slip on the dynamo
track and there is no evidence of the handling problems she
experienced with the Panaracer slicks she tried a couple of years
back. We'll have to wait and see what they are like for puncture
resistance - the old tyres (Federal Tire, made in Indonesia) only
punctured twice in four years!

My Marathon Plus rear tyre has been puncture free for about 18 months and I
ride on carpets of glass during the winter.
