I'm looking to replace the Conti Speed Kings on my Genesis Day One with a pair of Marathon Plus'. The bike is mainly used for commuting and is fitted with full length mudguards. The Speed Kings are 35mm and have minimal clearance around the mudguard. How do the Marathon Plus size up ? Are they a big 35mm or should I play it safe and go with 32mm ? Thanks for any replies.

    they are fairly spot on sizes so yes likely to be bigger than the speed kings.

    I did the same swap on my Jake the Snake - in fact I ordered the 32mm Marathon Plus but they sent me 35mm, which didn't bother me so I stuck them on and no problems at all. They do take a bit of effort to get on though.
