Had a visit from the p******* fairy this morning, on my Schawalbe Marathon shod Croix de Fer. It’s a bit like Kim Jong Uns haircut, you see it but can hardly believe it, but a 5mm square lump of glass went through the tread, cords and green p******* proof strip.
Even though Marathons make the bike feel more or less unstoppable I carry a spare tube and was soon on my way.
Thats the first visit ever on these tyres, over 3 years now and goodness knows how many miles, just weighing up whether to stick with Marathons or go the whole way and whack on Marathon pluses
