The article was interesting, but mostly irrelevant. In the end, as seasoned Brompton riders know, speed is important, but more so in removing the rear wheel in the rain after a puncture!
I just had new Kojaks delivered for my Dahon. Since I mostly ride 700c clinchers and road tubulars, I appreciate supple tires. The Kojaks impressed me that they are definitely on a par with upper end clinchers and mid range tubulars. I'm looking forward to vacation rides on my folder. Thanks for confirmation that I made a wise purchase with the Schwalbe Kojaks.
