New tyres for cube acid hybrid one...

[Philip Copley]

Hi, not sure if this is the right part of the forum, but, was looking to get some roady type tyres for my Cube, and wondered if the Schwalbe Marathon Plus 35c would fit this bike, replacing the mountain bike tyres it came with. Cheers, Phil.

I also have the acid one and my personal tyres of choice are smart Sam's for the mud and Big Apples for the road (& dry trails in the summer) Both are the plus flavor with the best puncture protection available for there type, marathons offer better protection but I've covered several thousand miles on apples with few punctures

Thanks Gringo, I'll have a look at the big apples

Hi Gringo, thanks for the answers and pictures, the local bike store had big bens, but i wanted mudguards for wet weather and the max they sell are 65mm wide full cover. I think the Bens are 2.15" so 54/5mm. They said it was good to give a cm clearance for gravel etc. My sks mudguards should be here next week...
