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...
Fitted by but not used
As new Bontrager R4 tyres
These are very much race day fastest tyres that are usually £40-50 EACH! Rather than everyday
Superb grip and low rolling resistance (less than GP4000) and lightweight
Rated by cyclist as the fastest tyres they'd ever reviewed and 9/10 (lost a...
700x23c Rubino Pro (yellow) had some use but plenty of wear left £10/pair + postage
700x23c Continental Gator skins wire bead (hardly used, all I could get at the time and switched to 25c after a few weeks) £20/pair + postage
700 x 35c Continental Cyclo X King. Hardly used, bought for the...
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.
Hi
Can I have your recommendations for best road tyres please. I now I've debated this before so apologies.
My only criteria
- I like 25c's
- I ride in all conditions
- I hate punctures
- I use Clincher wheels
- Not too heavy please
If you've seen any offers, let me know
thanks in advance
Three rides, two punctures. 15 miles each ride. Damp muddy roads.
Both on the rear, both just between sidewall and middle.
Nothing obvious in the road.
Obviously nothing to stop them penetrating the tyre
They are Continental Ultra Sport II Folding Road Tyre
I read the reviews and they seemed...
Hi all - am returning to cycling after long time. Need advice on bike and tyres. I'll be commuting 10m each way. Mostly road but also some rough patches of tarmac and muddy paths. The B'TWIN TRIBAN 520 FLAT BAR ROAD BIKE - SORA has great reviews and tempts me. But am wondering if the frame is...
Anyone like myself end up with odd tyres due to rear wearing out faster than the front or even end up with odd wheels due to buying a wheeset to replace a damaged wheel?
Maybe i should just buy one make/type of tyre and get rid of odd wheels? Dont think many people care what wheels someone else...
Trying to make up a couple pairs.
Must be in good condition +
25 preferably (will consider 23)
Specialized Turbo
GP 4Season
Specialized S-Works (23mm)

It's NYE so....

I have just purchased a new specialized Sirrus Sport 2018 hybrid bike and the standard tyres fitted are Specialized Nimbus Reflect 700x32mm, 26 TPI, wire bead, w/ Flak Jacket protection, has anybody got any thoughts on these tyres as regards reliability & puncture protection ? I’ll mainly be...
Looking for some gravel tyres around 40mm and light as possible, anything out there that anyone has come across??
would be used on tarmac aswell for commuting
thinking of buying the Trek FX3 disc hybrid (https://www.trekbikes.com/gb/en_GB/bikes/hybrid-bikes/fitness-bikes/fx/fx-3-disc/p/1327610-2018/) for mainly road work but I also want to be able to use off road on tracks, canal paths etc... but believe tyres supplied with bike the Bontrager H2...
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?
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.
Hi, my wife has an MTB with 27.5 wheels but she wants to swap the knobblys for something more suitable with less resistance for touring on the roads...does anyone have any recommendations?
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.
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...
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.
Since having another puncture after running over some loose gravel i'm thinking about swapping out my 'Continental Grand Prix 4000S II Folding Road Tyre' for the gatorskin ones.

I've tried running PSI from 80 to 120 but I've...
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.
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?
