Description
- Pair of tyres + tubes from Bromptons.
- Schwalbe Marathon Plus.

- Used but in working order.
As per the summary above, a set of tyres and tubes for Bromptons and other small wheelers.. Tyres are the highly regarded Marathon Plus, probably the most heavy duty tyre for folding bikes. If you want to avoid flats with a pneumatic tyre, this is generally the way to go. I use them myself and don't even remember the last time I had a flat with Marathon Pluses (years!). One tube is Schwalbe, the other cannot find the brand.
They are used but in working condition. Only replaced due to a deep Brompton yearly service that included new tyres and tubes (among other stuff like cables, pads, etc), so these are surplus requirements. They were working great on the bike and had no flats. They were fitted new I think around 1.5 years ago.
Condition is generally fair. Rear is more worn as normal, with the classic cuts from London roads, but nothing major. Front is pretty good. Tubes are good with no punctures. Check pictures for condition, pics are part of the description.
Please note that some people find these tyres very hard to fit, so be prepared. I personally find them super easy to install (less than a minute) but I have lots of experience fitting bike tyres so must be that. Also make sure they fit your bike. They won't fit the big Brompton G line (uses 20 inch wheels) or other 16 inch bikes (that use other 16" standard).
Auction, no reserve. Grab yourself a bargain! Tubes typically are 7 quid each and Marathon Pluses around 40. So total new would be nearly 100.

I do my best to list the items accurately and to provide plenty of quality pictures. Please read the description thoroughly and study the pictures before buying. Pics are part of the description.
Items are checked before being put for sale to make sure that they work as intented (unless listed for spares). Please note that most of them are a few decades old vintage parts, so things can go wrong sometimes. I got an excellent record of happy customers using my parts for many miles with no problem. However it is your responsability that they are properly fitted and working well before riding the bike. No liability is accepted for personal injuries or material damage related to the use of the parts.
