I had the Marathon 32's on a cyclocross that I purchased about 4-5 years ago. The tires rolled well and I kept them on for about a year, around 2000 miles. I got into racing and switched to some light 25c tires and put the Schwalbes in storage. I got other bikes and started riding and burning through tires last year at a decent rate, 3 sets of tires, 6000 miles last year, wearing each set to the thinnest layer before buying new ones. I finally put the Marathons on my new cyclocross after 2500 on my knobby 32 c Richie tires.The old Marathons lasted another 1500 miles and then I went to L A with the bike weighing 53 lbs total. I weigh 208 and had the marathons pumped to 100 lbs. They worked great and made the ride comfortable, smooth, and actually fast. We averaged 16-18 miles per hour the whole ride of 500 miles. My friend had new Pasela's and he had the only flat on the whole ride.Love these tires and decided to buy the smaller 28c size for less rolling resistance this time around. I have about 500 miles on them and no flats, no problems yet.Also, I have read reviews about them falling off or coming off of other bike rims. I don't know what older rim that these people have them on, but I never had this problem and I don't mind pumping them to full capacity. They have been on Mavic open pro and aksium rims without the slightest problem. Don't know about the mechanics and the owners who had problems getting them on their rims. I just put them on twice, having removed the 28's and put the 32's back on for the LA bike trip. No pinch flat, no problem. They're tight but not that bad. When removing them, after deflating, pinch the tire in with your hand all the way around to get the wire bead off the sidewall and in the center of the rim. It makes removing them easier.They are pretty bomb proof. I'm sure that you can get a flat. I just haven't had one with the older or newer Marathons. I've had plenty with my Gatorskins and other light weight tires.My only wish is that they made them a little lighter.

I looked a long time before buying these. Everyone says they're the perfect touring tire...and they are. But I learned a few things very quickly. 1) They are a much smoother ride than my previous thinner tread tire. 2) They are a much surer handling tire with absolutely no loss of traction no matter how deep you lean into a turn or what the road conditions are, and 3) on rough surfaced roads, these tires require a LOT of extra leg strength compared to the same size tire with a thinner tread!!! They are a phenomenally good tire, and contrary to other reviews, there's NOTHING hard about getting these tires on the rim. Read the recommendations in the other reviews and it's no problem at all. I have no clue what the other reviewers are talking about when they talk about breaking tools and needing walls to hold the wheel. Just make sure that if you're replacing a more traditional road tire, even a 35, keep the other tires and trade them back onto the rims if you're just going out for a 1-day, 100 mile organized ride where a blown tube is no big deal. If you don't and you're not used to these, you'll be falling behind your riding buddies by the end of the day. lol But when the organized ride is over and you've got your panniers on and you're riding out on the road in the middle of nowhere and loving the solo time... there is no better tire you could ever hope to have.

Much stiffer than the tires that came stock on my MTB. The reflective ring is a nice touch.One important note: you ABSOLUTELY need a set of tire levers to install these. I could get my old tires on with my thumbs, but there's zero chance of doing that with these.
