after fitting some marathons to my commuter i thought it was a big draggy an not as quick as the other tyres an because my pump doesnt have a guage i wa sjust guessing how much air was in them, so got out my trusty footpump last night (double barrelled Halfords thing) an found in the valve lock on thingy it had a adapter for presta to schrader!

the pressure in my tyres was 45 :shock: pumped them up to 65psi now my bike flies!!

I've just put some marathons on my commuter bike as well. I just pump them up as hard as I can with my mini pump. My bike flies as well. The new tyres have knocked 5-10 minutes off my journey time and upped my average speed by 1.5-2mph.

Coninental Speedkings. Old and new are both 700c 35mm. The bike now feels a lot faster and smoother.
