Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Schwalbe Marathon HS 420 Touring Bike Tire: 3mm Puncture Protection, Reflective Sidewall - City, Urban & Hybrid Bicycles by Jacob Ashman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

They only have 1300 miles on them, very sad something broke on me. My back does that too.

I bought 2 Schwalbe Marathon GG RLX wired tires (700X28), this is the second set, I've driven 9000 miles with the first one, never had a problem with it. My second set, which I bought on December 22, 2017, I have only driven 1277 miles. The front end blew up on my bike rack after riding 80+ miles of bike lanes the entire trip. I only inflate them to 85psi, the tire is rated at 110psi. Why did it pop against the sidewall, it looks like the tire just came loose from the inside of the tire. At the end of the ride the tire wobbled and was hard to see. I have fenders on this bike. The rear also has a bit of wobble, upon closer inspection I can see where the tread on the tire is more worn. I also suspect that this tire will soon burst. I paid good money for them and the fact that they last less than 1300 miles is ridiculous! This bike is basically my commuter bike, but I ride it a lot on weekends. I ride very little on the road, Denver has a lot of bike lanes and that's where I ride. I want to know what you gonna do about it?
