Schwalbe Marathon Plus Reflex - Wired

Second pair I’ve bought, bling at its best

I have used Sprocket & Gear a number of times and always found the site really easy to use with no dead-ends or going round in circles which is common. Most recently I called the office to check on something. The phone was answered quickly and the call handler listened and provided a quick solution which, resulted in in me places another order. All around very good service.

Service was spot.
I had been finding it a challenge to find the Chain Ring I needed, but Sprocket and Gear came up with the goods.
Will definitely use them again.

Fixed quickly, efficiently & cheaply. Great service

Absolutely love this helmet, fit is mega comfy, super light, loads of vents, easy to remove and great vision area. Just absolutely mint. Looks ace too.

Had some MK1 G forms when they first came to market and they were so comfortable however in big sliding type crashes they’d move and coverage used to be minimal. I’d been using POC air just knee pads for ages however with the advent of tapered trousers and an arthritic knee or two any compression around my knee was making it very uncomfortable to consider wearing anything. Roll on last ride out, two small slow speed dismounts ie crashes rendered my shins in tatters from the Time Speciale 8 pedals and pins and I landed on the one that found me fully on the floor on my arthritic knee to stones…..at which point I thought phew escaped that with no broken knee just bruising and much shin rubbing during the rest of the riding and cursing as I could feel the blood flowing and swelling.
Anyhow with discount code and on sale these were the best long coverage when I’d decided they were something I will wear under tapered trousers on every ride in real MTB terrain. Measured myself and compared it to the manufacturers sizing and I have to say it’s absolutely spot on for size!
It was a minor mission to get them over my size 12 feet and they pull up really high which with the strap I’m confident there will be no movement or migration of the pads in even a huge sliding dismount. The compression level was spot on with no feeling of my kneecap being pressed. The only down side I can foresee is they’re going to run pretty hot however they give really good shin coverage down to 6” sock level so I could probably get away with wearing shorts with them. (Have thinning sun damaged skin on lower legs and previous skin lesion elsewhere so have to cover up plus factor 50)……wear your sunscreen guys and gals!
I haven’t worn them in anger yet but I’m confident days of shredded shins and being overly concerned about a broken knee or two are gone for now. They’re rated for Enduro but not DH to be honest I’ll be wearing them for uplift days probably after starting out in hard shell race face last time on an uplift and second run switching to just the POC knees only. 59 not out…..yet!
