SCHWALBE WHEELCHAIR TYERS IN CAPE TOWN

Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres for wheelchairs 24 X 1" Brand new puncture proof pneumatic tyres with smart guard R600 each Schwalbe Rightrun tyres 24 x 1" R400 each 728 - show phone - 6 A new Marathon with revolutionary puncture resistance The technicians in the Bohle laboratory had to redevelop test procedures in order to puncture the tube inside the Marathon Plus. None of the usual tire destroyers like glass, flints or shards would penetrate the tread and only by extreme application of force could the technicians break through the protection, which in everyday life would be extremely improbable. To back up this trial numerous test riders are still waiting for the first flat on their daily travels. This new advance in puncture protection is due to the five millimeter thick Smart Guard puncture protection belt made from special india rubber that in conjunction with the tread and carcass brings the total to almost a centimeter of material between the tube and road. "So strong nothing penetrates", assures Bohle technician Markus Hachmeyer. For example a thumbtack will remain lodged in the rubber and cannot penetrate. Smart Guard also protects against the biggest puncture problems experienced by everyday cyclists. Objects that embed in the tread and that insidiously work their way through even the most sophisticated puncture protection belt, promoted by the constant rotation of the tire on the road". Against 'time bombs' such as shards, flints and glass, only a thick rubber belt like Smart Guard will work.
