FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Schwalbe One Tanwall Tyre?
The main advantage is its optimized balance of low rolling resistance for speed, excellent grip, and high puncture protection, combined with a distinctive tanwall aesthetic.
Is this tyre suitable for all Brompton models?
This tyre is specifically designed for Brompton bikes with a 35-349 rim size. Please verify your wheel size before purchasing.
How does the puncture protection work?
It uses an extremely cut-resistant high-tech fibre integrated into the tyre construction, which helps to prevent sharp objects from penetrating the casing.
What is the recommended tyre pressure?
The recommended pressure is typically between 60-100 PSI, but always check the sidewall of the tyre for the exact range specified by Schwalbe for this model.
How often should I check the tyre pressure?
It is recommended to check tyre pressure at least weekly, or before every significant ride, to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Can I use this tyre in wet conditions?
Yes, the tyre is designed to provide excellent grip in various conditions, including wet weather, due to its specialized compound.
What is the lifespan of the tyre?
Lifespan varies depending on riding style, terrain, and maintenance. However, performance-oriented tyres like this may have a shorter lifespan than more durable, commuting-focused tyres.
Troubleshooting
Tyre won't seat properly on the rim
Ensure both beads are centered in the rim channel. Try deflating the tube slightly and pushing the tyre bead into the rim channel all the way around. Check for any obstructions.
Inner tube is pinching during installation
Partially inflate the inner tube before fitting the second tyre bead. Ensure the tube is not twisted and sits correctly within the tyre. Use tyre levers carefully, avoiding sharp angles that could catch the tube.
Tyre feels sluggish or slow
Verify the tyre pressure is within the recommended range. Under-inflation significantly increases rolling resistance. Check for any debris lodged in the tread that might be causing drag.
Premature wear on the tanwall
Tanwalls are often made of softer compounds for grip and can show wear more visibly. Ensure correct inflation and avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Normal wear is expected and will be more apparent than on black sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This tyre is specifically designed for Brompton bicycles with a 35-349 rim size. Ensure your Brompton's wheel size matches before purchase.
Setup:
- Ensure the wheel is removed from the bicycle.
- Deflate any existing tube completely.
- Carefully unseat the old tyre from the rim, working your way around.
- Install one bead of the new Schwalbe One Tanwall Tyre onto the rim.
- Fit the inner tube, partially inflating it to give it shape.
- Install the second bead of the tyre onto the rim. Use tyre levers gently if needed, being careful not to pinch the inner tube.
- Inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure, typically found on the tyre sidewall (often between 60-100 PSI for this model).
Care:
- Regularly check tyre pressure. Under-inflation can lead to poor performance and increased risk of pinch flats.
- Inspect the tyre tread for embedded debris (glass, stones) and remove them to prevent punctures.
- Clean the tanwall with a damp cloth and mild soap if it becomes dirty. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Periodically check the tyre sidewalls for any signs of wear or damage.
