Schwalbe City jets
Karl:
I've just been informed that the complete range of Schwalbe City Jet tyres are discontinued with immediate effect.
This lack of notice by the manufacturer means I've been left in the lurch as I only found out when placing an order to restock my empty shelf >:(
However the situation is what it is and I cannot change that , so I have to find an alternative. My suppliers only deal with Schwalbe so if anyone can recommend a Schwalbe alternative then I can get some of those in as a trial. I'll be taking a look through their range to see if anything looks suitable. The real snag is identifying a series of tyres that come in both 12" and 16" sizes to give us the matching set.
In the meantime I'll try a few alternative makes and see what we can come up with but sadly though it looks like we have to find a replacement for the City Jet which is a real shame...those tyres were great .
marra:
With the Schwalbe range there is the Marathon and Marathon plus, one of the leading tyres out there and the ones I use and fit to e-bikes. can take high psi and has a stiff wall. regarding the front there is the Kid plus / buggy tyre, hard wall soft compound cap.

They do these in C5 size. Standard fare rather than the slicks of the city jet.

Might have to get a few of those and give them a try.
In the meantime I'll see if I can get hold of some of the remaining stock of the city jets to see us through for the short term.
Long term though we will have to look for another favourite
