Cheap 26 Inch Tyres - If anybody still rides 26"

[Alembicbassman]

I fitted a set of these to my brother's MTB and have bought a set for myself.

Fine for bimbling around Clumber Park on the trails.

£4 each (currently)

Geax tyres are really popular in mainland Europe, I first used them on an MTB hire bike in the Sierra Nevada mountains, they were excellent.

I've got an old hardtail in the shed that runs 26's and I think the tyres may be in need of replacing. They seem decent enough for the cash but I guess only time will tell.

Yep ,I can recommend Geax tyres as I have and have owned several pairs.
The Barro Mountains are my weapon of choice mostly.

I used to like the 26 Geax Gatto tyres for xc..thin light fast rolling 2.1 tyres. Well worth a punt at 4 quid

Great wee deal there. I've been looking a set of 29" tyres but thon filters on Planet x are a joke. Nothing to filter for size.

 

[Alembicbassman]

Looks like they've all gone now.

The filters are pants. I just search the whole lot using scroll keys

Geax are pretty good tires, I often find them at a big box sporting goods store in the States, But my 26" experience has more touring than off-road, so I'm going to some narrower tires for my 26" tourer. Any recommendations?

How narrow?

 

[Bonefish Blues]

I don't want them, but can I say how very supportive I am of bimbling. Not enough bimbling going on IMHO.

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

Nothing like an occasional bimble

I was looking at some Geax City Runners in 26x1.25, on Amazon, but I may get into something a little better. But it sounds like they may be just fine.

Don't want to sound too negative but they look cheap and heavy like Kendas?? Chainreaction/Wiggle etc always have 26 inch deals on. I got a pair of Conti Racekings for £26...YGWYPF

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

Conti's Touring Plus Reflex would be my first call.
I actually think the Geax would be fine,but it's your call on that

Picked up yesterday

They still have some Schwalbe Table Tops for £4
