Video is awesome and the presenter is too cute ❤️😍

thanks,I usually align the valve to the pressure rating on the tyre so it's there to remind you on pumping,this can be a faint raised moulding that's hard to see,not on this one.Hope all their small touches add up. You're our best test pilot. Give it some stick for us lass xx

Very informative, thank you. Look forward to hearing how they perform in use.

Good to see an option from Continental, it is certainly a good looking tyre - I will await your longer-term thoughts with interest! Thoroughly BRILLIANT ride off into the sunset... and hope the eggs made it in spite of the near miss disclosed at the end! Informative as ever, and I definitely wish I had a Cleaning Fairy! Thanks and Stay safe!

So glad you lined up the writing!

Yet another excellent video, as a Brompton Newbie these tutorials are a life saver. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Great video as new to Bromptons these really help 👍🏻

Excellent video! Thanks for posting.

I love the little haphazard clips at the end :)

V helpful. I suspect my next set of tyres. Thanks

Excellent video will presented have injoyed the funni bits to at the end

Thanks for another of your helpful and clearly presented video tutorials. Good job, well done! 🎉The good fairies visited here too and brought this tire changing video, a simple task I’ve feared. I love feeling liberated! 🎉 TY❤️

Great videos, thanks for all your efforts, and thanks too for the recent AV4 delivery to me in Sussex. One point about matching the tyre writing and the valve.... doesn’t this over balance one side of the wheel, and wouldn’t it be better to balance the valve with the tyre writing opposite 🤣

I’ve long been Schwalbe Marathon Plus fan but will try the Conti Urban. I’m interested to hear how you get on with yours.

Informative and fun video with your signature out takes... love it! We're thinking about Bromptons. I've always thought they were massively overpriced, but your channel and Michelle's have been big persuaders, I hope Brompton are buying you a coffee.

the contact urban semi slick looks good and so does the bike fitter :)

How about pump the inner tube a bit, maybe that makes it easyer to install. Another trick is to put some talc powder on the inner tube. Might help a bit. However, I agree that the Schwalbe inner tyre is pretty good!

Thank you very much! Very interesting!

I hope you all doing ok! Please, make a live on YT telling how things are right there! Great video BTW! 👍🏻

Hi! I’m just wondering whether there are any follow up review on continental tyres? How they fare by now? 😉 Thanks a lot. Your videos are quite useful. Will be looking forward to watching more of your videos

Great video! Continentals look nice and reliable

A very informative video! Is it on the cards to do a rolling-down-hill test to compare the relative rolling resistances of the tyre options and how this converts to terminal speed? Whilst doing this, an additional wind resistance test of a Brompton Borough Roll Top Bag would be fun too! I have been piling on the miles with standard Marathon Racer tyres and as long as the rear is on 95-100 psi I am happy with rolling resistance so far, although do notice that going from coarse tarmac to ultra smooth is a bit like having a little push from a following wind - presumably that is the tread pattern gripping too much on the coarse stuff. I know looks can matter quite a bit when admiring the bike, particularly if it does not have mudguards, but to be honest, when I am riding, I cannot see the tyres 😂. But does anyone else have an interest like me in how a tyre sounds? Tread/pattern makes quite a difference and on a quiet country road, the noise a tyre makes in the wet or dry can be quite satisfying too. Ah, there we go, another video idea - a noise test!

Work from opposite the valve and push the valve in to move the tube away from the rim as the last bit of the tyre/rim is fitted. Put a cap on or nut to make sure you don't let the valve stem disappear up inside the tyre. Having a partially inflated tube helps. By working opposite the valve the tyre can sit in the deep well of the rim... This is the method I use for motorbikes and my 26" tyres.

Looking forward for your reviews on this tire. How does the inner tube make mounting the tire more difficult? For the season, I have just swapped out my front winter tire for an extremely worn out Marathon tire which I hope simulates a kojack tire. Is using a well worn Marathon acceptable since the tire has no gashes in it?

I really love all your videos and just got a Brompton myself. I was wondering what front light this is in the video and whether it‘s dynamo powered. Is it hard to install? Keep up the good work! :-)

Love the shoes

wearing the tyre in the end made me laugh... speaking of inner tubes, Tubolito has Brompton sized tubes with both Presta and Shrader valves. Will you consider doing a review on those in the future if possible? haven't seen any text/video reviews on the Brompton version of those, only a few on regular sized wheels.

Oh, I've been waiting for these! More options is a good thing. I'd even order them now, since my Marathons Plus (rear) and Marathon (front) are already worn down a bit. By the way, not a single flat tyre in all of 2019! They were really excellent. Buuut my Brompton is still in repair with a broken rear triangle, so the Contis will have to wait. 🙄

So... Any follow-up on these tires? Excited to see some competition for Schwalbe on Brompton.

I'd be interested how the new Conti tyre compares to all the Schwalbe tyres in weight. Since tyre weight affects the liveliness of the ride, could you add this information?

How many times did you drop the inner tube?. Love your video's xx

It's bitter sweet watching this video in 2022. The joke about the egg and milk... so relatable.

Is there expiry date on bike tyres? For car tyres, they usually good for 5 years etc. Just curious need to change bike tyres over 5 years old

Line up the pressure markings next to the valve. I can never remember the recommended pressures so I always need to check it. And when it is right next to the valve I don't need to find it in the dim lighting of my storage space.

Hi will this tyre fit on a B75 with mudguard still many thanks Josh

How do the Continentals compare to the Marathon Plus tyres in regard to puncture resistance?

Thank you

How do we get the cleaning fairies round? :-)

Nice tire

Some feedback on Continental tyres. I put two on about a month ago. Pros Easy to put on Roll well Light Cons Tyres are made of v soft rubber. So little puncture resistance Side walls are thin so catch the wall, and they will blow out. Tread is limited so probably ok for summer but where it might be sl slippery in winter Schwalbe would be better. Would I get them again- no. They’re too fragile for where I go but would be ok if you stay on clean tarmac only

Hi, thanks dir this nice and instructive video. I have the Marathon Racer on my brompton and after one year and a half the rear tire has some bulging deformations on the sides and It might explode soon. I’m willing to test another quality tire like the Continental you have. By the way and out of curiosity, which repair stand you use ? That blue one ? Many thanks and best regards from Germany.

Love the video and your presentation. What is the name of the bag that you had your eggs in?

Hi - I enjoy all your videos. I’m thinking of putting solid Tannus tyres on my electric Brompton. Have you tried these on a Brompton? Thanks

How do you like the five ten freerider on brompton?

Love all your videos my dear. Are all British women just as lovely as you? Besides being very Beautiful your definitely well knowledgeable on bicycle mechanics. Thanks Please be safe from that deadly virus.

Hi, What’s the front light on the orange brommie

It was a bit disappointing not to see you putting it all, wheel, chain, adjusting the tension etc, back together again. You probably have a video on such. Guess I will have to check it out. Thanks for you clear, concise instructions. What about those tubeless tires? And what about the application to long distance touring for heavy people?

Hi , how’s the tyres going 🤔

What bag is used with the Brompton for shopping in this video? What is the volume? Thanks

I’ve been looking online and want to purchase the marathon plus which brilliant bikes recommended because I’m cursed with flats. I have a Brompton sl2 running on marathon racers 35-349 although once I go to checkout it asks me tyre name size and gives me an option of 700-25c or 700-28c I’m not sure what this means and cannot find any markings on my current tyre could anyone help?

A Schwalbe Marathon Plus on the rear really makes the bumps feel harsh and unforgiving. Is there a noticeable difference in rolling resistance between the Kojaks and the Marathon Racers?

At 0:47 you mentioned the SM+ are not recommended by Brompton. What would be the rationale behind this?

On a different subject, what lights do you have on that bike?

I had no idea that aligning tyre writing and valve was a thing. Imagine my shame when I checked my own bike!

Christ. I have the same tyre until my bike breaks!! I didn’t know that there was a winter tyre!

P.S. Is there any weight advantage ? the Schwable Marathon Plus are quite heavy tyres.

Hi can I use schwalbe AV4 with continental urban tires?

I just love watching a slender and petite lady manhandle a cycle tyre onto the rim.. ... without tyre levers.. ... and without even having to *sit down!*

Any updates with this tire..? Is it better then the Schwalbe One?

Interesting that you mention that this tyre is e-bike compatible. I see that Schwable have come out with a range of tyres specifically for e-bikes. Whilst this might seem like a cynical marketing ploy, increasing EU regulation, which the UK is likely to follow, means that to keep your bike "legal" you should only fit e-bike rated tyres on a Brompton electric. If you had a catastrophic accident, you really don't want to be explaining to a barrister why you preferred Kojaks on your BE :-)

is that still 16x1.35?

Brompton really needs to be disc and tubeless tyres.Why such delay?

I may be in lockdown with time on my hands but there’s no way I’m going to take the tyres off all my three bikes and reposition them with the wording symmetrically placed around the valve. And certainly not on my car or motorbikes.

What is your name?

"Schwobi" :P (that's how Schwalbe [=swallow] would be spelled in German when using your pronunciation)

Just put continental tyres mine

I'm really sick of all the punctures. What are everyone thoughts on solid tires or solid tubes with tires over them?

I really want Brompton, but after entering my country the price is more expensive 2 times. give me the brompton.

I still don't think she likes her Brompton very much
