Got one today second in a month. Tyre was slimed and a green spray was coming out of tire. However slime did its job and after pumping back up managed to ride six miles home. Lesson learnt and marathon pluses now on order
Another puncture

Out of interest, where do you ride? How much mileage have you done? Have you found anything evidential that might puncture cheaper tyres?
i use the roads, the river lea towpaths, I often take the thames path from woolwich to erith which turns into some fairly sketchy dirt and gravel track at times. if you are familiar with east london you'll know of the greenway, which i use a lot.
I run the usual minefield of broken bottles and dried brambles.
I 've also gone across a carpet grip which some lowlife deliberatley placed in the cycle lane at ilford, this incident alone turned me into a schwalbe evangelist.

Not too expensive for peace of mind. £20each plus fiver postage
I'm trawling their site now. The have ebike ready tyres. Interesting, and new to me.
I have 2.35 Magic Mary's on my other bike. SW. I'm looking for a hybrid with a bit more rolling ability.
