    What are the best tyres to make a 61 year old relic feel like he has younger legs ? I need all the help I can get on my 64 deluxe.

    try some of the pedals with toe “cages” on the end, they are easy to get in and out of and give a surprising increase in power as the “up” stroke contribute’s as well.i’m assuming they will have the same thread.

    Schwalbe kojaks, schwalbe marathons a little slower but less prone to punctures, i can go faster on those than i can with my 8 speed folder on slick tyres, obviously the gearing is better on the sa4 speed.

    There is no discussion necessary – Greenspeed Scorcher is the fastest 349 tyre.

    I use 349 primo comet tyres, they look right and are very fast.

    are not Brompton tyres based on the same carcass as the Primo Comet?

    cheers
