    Question about riding in snow esp. for those with the proper tyres

    I've cycled to and from work today - there is about 8 inches of snow on the shed roof at home, but out and about there is less and on the roads it's been compacted. It's generally been quite fun, althoguh I need thicker gloves. I've been on 2" knobblies and it's been fine - I've not fallen off...

    Sold:Bontrager R4 Aero Tyres

    A pair of used R4 Aero tyres 700x22 - the fastest tyre ever made or so the blurb goes. The central seam of rubber is still visible in a few places so they have plenty of miles left in them - and just one small cut in each. The sidewall ID design is a bit different on each.

    slick tyres and snow/slush

    Normally at this time of year, i swap my slickish tyres for nobbly tyres... but i threw the old nobblies out after last winter. Should i take my chances riding fat slick tyres in the snow, or go and buy some nobblies?

    Advice please: Fitting Foldable Tyres on my Road Bike( Conti 4 Seasons)

    I have been bought some of these for Christmas, having been recomended them. I have a B Twin 520. I have never seen foldable tyres before. Is there anything I need to know about fitting them ? Should we get them out of the box to get the folds out or is that a stupid question? Thank you in advance.

    Brompton tyres sucking the life out of me

    The tyres that were supplied with my Brompton are sucking the life out of me. They are Marathon Plus. 16x13/8 So any recommendations as to a better rolling, quicker tyre. Obviously I will be trading off the puncture protection of the Plus', but dammit, they really are hard work.

    "gravel bike" tyres in 27"?

    I have a resprayed Carlton tru well frame (which i bought ages ago cos i felt sorry for it) hung in my garage. I've had the thought of making it into more of a gravel style racer: nothing too ruffty-tuffty, just able to cope with the odd track or flat-ish common. Are there any tyres in 27" that...

    Recommend me some full length mudguards for 700*35 tyres

    Only thing is my forks dont have a bolt hole where a calliper would normally be attached. Also my forks are not round, would P clips work for funny shaped forks? Front one is all I need.

    Anyone fitted 32mm or 35mm tyres into a Holdsworth Elan?

    As the title really. What's the widest tyre anyone's fitted into a Holdsworth Elan frame? Looking at the clearance (currently got 25mm Hutchinson nitro 2) I could probably get a 32mm in there but it would leave any clearance for guards.

    How much does dumping car tyres save you?

    Someone dumped 4 car tyres at the local play area this week. The next day I spotted some at a recently demolished building site. Clearly there is some incentive to dump them. How much does it save?
