The tikit was on stock Marathons inflated to near maximum. The Brompton was on, I *believe*, Brompton High Pressure tires. Stupidly I cannot say for sure: they certainly looked roughly equivalent in width. They have the same max PSI. All I can say is: the Marathons are not famous for being comfy nor efficient tires. They're just durable.
On the tikit, what is the distance, o.c., between BB and rear hub? Is this distance the same for all sizes?
It looks like 16 3/8", which I believe was pretty close to what the Bromptons were. I think all the tikits have the same rear triangle, and only vary in top tube length and handlebar configuration.
