 | A new tyre in the 349 (16inch) size carrying the Brompton logo was fairly widely expected, but in the event we were surprised to hear that there is not just one new tyre, but two - there is an option of whether a Kevlar belt is fitted or not. |
| The tyres look quite smart - they have a thin reflective strip on the side wall, like the latest Birdy tyres, and have plenty of rubber, suggesting (though no proof yet) that life should be good. |
| Fitting the new tyre to the front wheel required a lot of effort, and left me very concerned that I would/will have trouble repairing punctures during rides, particularly in cold weather when the hands are not working well. |
