Hi all,
I am just about to take the plunge and start commuting in London. Next week I am taking delivery of a new Cannondale Bay Boy and can't wait to get going.
The question I have is, are the Schwalbe Kojak tyres it comes with any good for city commuting? I know they are very light and fast, but does anyone have any experience of their puncture resistance? ideally I do not want to run very heavy tyres but equally I cannot afford to have too many punctures as I will be commuting to work. Can any Bay Boy owners / Kojak users give any views?
I am toying with the idea of having the bike fitted with some Specialized Armadillo All Condition tyres for peace of mind, but if people here think the Kojaks are a good tyre then I might stick with whats on the bike for now.
Any advice gratefully recevied!
