Thanks for sharing this list, very informative. I don't see Primo Comet on this list.
If I recall correctly; it weighed just a tad more than a folding Kojak at half the price.
Haven't really had it for long to make an observation in regards to puncture resistance.
But so far so good. You can also try the original/standard Marathon; but for me it was
just too slow rolling.

  • Velotto Fantome Mini (28-349) (215g [flancs beiges] / 175g [noirs])

Considering that removing the rear wheel on the Brompton is a bit of a PITA and the Marathon Plus are kind of heavy, are there lighter alternatives that are still somewhat puncture-proof?

Thank you.
