Availability date:
This Schwalbe Marathon 16 x 1.35 inch tyre is one of the three tyres factory fitted as standard on the current Brompton folding bike range (as at 2020). It is an upgrade - slightly tougher - from the default type - the Marathon Racer.
It's slightly narrower (at 1.35 inches) than the original Brompton kevlar (previously known as "green" for it's green label) tyre (which was 1 3/8 inch wide)
This Schwalbe Marathon 16 inch tyre was introduced to the Brompton line as a standard factory fit option in December 2011
This tyre has changed slightly since that 2011 model:
Note: If you are using the Brompton bottle dynamo which connects with the tyre, please use a standard Brompton tyre rather than this one, as there is a slight size difference which will affect your dynamo's capability to function correctly. (i.e. it won't work properly!) |

Hard to fit
I was given two of these tyres for my birthday. From their appearance, each seemed to be from a different batch. I tried to put them on using my fingers, as shown in the video. For one, this proved to be impossible, and I had to resort to using tyre levers (taking care not to pinch the inner tube). I managed to put on the other, just using my fingers - the rims seemed to be more pliable.
Fitted but with a lot of hassle
I fitted a pair of these and my God was it hard. Can't see how you can do it without tyre levers. If I get a puncture out on the road I think the bike will be folded up and a bus will be caught.
marathon plus tyres
i put these tyres on my bike and found it did`nt fold up the same ie the stem caught on the stopper at the bottom and the front tyre spokes caught on the gears when folded i can get over it but it`s somethink to watch out for i think it`s due to the 1.35
Very difficult to fit.
I just spent an hour fitting a Schwalbe Marathon 16in tyre to my Brompton in the comfort of my kitchen. This was my third attempt having wrecked 2 previous tyres in the fitting process. I fitted the tyre without using tyre levers but my hands are sore and I would not want to do this on the road. I use these tyres on my larger wheeled bikes and they are relatively easy to fit if you watch the video. These tyres are very puncture resistant but if I do get a puncture on my Brompton it will be a problem.
Brompton Retyred
Replaced both tyres as originals were looking a bit 'tyred' after 13 years. Tread pattern is more substantial than the Brompton and seems to give better grip in the wet.
Good value and very prompt service from Brilliant Bikes. I learned a lot about my Brompton from this site.
