Hi All
Which is better Specialized Crossroad Armadillo Elite or Schwalbe Marathon Plus (26x2.1") Im looking for a "Puncture proof" MTB tyre. I cycle off road mostly on hard surfaces (mud/gravel) but sometimes through sticky mud in the winter. Just after some advice.
Ps: reason for wanting "Puncture Proof tyre" is im entering my first MTB race in May (aged 37) in the "Come and have a go" catagorie and dont want to let a puncture ruin my day !!
cheers
:D

    for an xc race, a spesh fast trak lk armadillo elite 2.0 might be better, as the crossroads is more of a hybrid tyre, and won't have much grip offroad.
