    Tyres for canal towpath?

    In the good weather I use my carbon roadbike with carbon wheels and rim brakes (carbon brake tract), and based on my experience of commuting in London with this setup over the past winter, and even wet summer days, the brakes are just completely inadequate once wet. So, happy days, it's new...

    Tannus tyres on a Brompton

    I've fitted Tannus tyres to my Brompton. Fitting them is probably worth a thread of its own, but suffice to say it's doable at home but very difficult - and I consider myself a fairly competent home mechanic. I've done 10 miles on them and my initial impressions are that they're absolutely...

    Rims

    I've got a PlanetX London Road and have recently suffered a puncture from a small piece of glass. Its time to get some proper tyres. I'm tempted by Schwalbe Marathon Plus, but at 35C they weigh 900g. I don't go off road very often. Could I step down to 28C(750g)? or is there another brand I...

    Flat sodding tyres

    In recent weeks I've had three instances of tubes letting go, apropos of nothing. They are pumped to 100psi. The tubes are supposedly able to take that pressure. Evidently they can't. I'm suspecting I've been sent a crap batch (10 X ITS tubes with long stems from InnerTubeShop.com; I'll be on...

    Tubeless Big Apple tyres

    When I have to replace the tyres on my Trice QNT I'm thinking of upgrading to Schwalbe Big Apples for a little extra comfort and I am also considering going tubeless. However has anyone attempted this and how successful/difficult was it?

    32c plus 28c tyre combo

    I have a pair of Continental Ultra Sport tyres for one of my bikes, and I quite like them so I got a spare when I saw some going cheap - they're 27 x 1 1/4, so I thought best grab them while I can. The thing is, I've only just noticed the new one is different - exactly the same name and size...

    Swapping to 25mm tyres

    My new bike will have 25 mm tyres, what differences can I expect from the 23mm tyres on my current bike? I assuming they will be more comfortable and perhaps more puncture resistant but maybe there will be a decrease in speed?

    Tyres on the wrong way for over two years

    I've had my tyres on the wrong way, the rear for over two years, I bought this year's tyre model yesterday and it now has a new arrow pointing in the direction of travel on the side wall. Changed the tyres, so both are now the correct orientation, but, no discernible difference on my ride. :cry:

    Tubeless tyres

    Is anyone here running tubeless tyres on their daily ride? I am seriously considering putting them on my hybrid as they seem like a great idea but they are still a pretty new deal and quite expensive hence any genuine experiences would be good to hear about.

    Bike tyres v car tyres

    I recently bought myself a new bike that was technically second hand but from a charity shop that specialises in finding virtually unused bikes and selling them at very keen prices. The only issue that I have is that I have been spending a lot of time deciding which tyre I should get to replace...

    Help With Bike Tyres Sizing Please

    Hi If needed can I put my Marathon Plus tyres (700x40c) from my older bike onto my newer bike which currently has tyres sized at 700x38c. I'm sure these questions get asked all the time. I have looked online but I'm struggling to get my head around it. Thanks in advance

    Faulty tyres or worn rims?

    I've just had my third Michelin Endurance Pro 4 tyre blow out on me in the past year. In all cases, the side of the tyre wall was worn away. I've been running Michelins for a few years with very few problems until recently. Initially, I thought the tyres were to blame, but now I've started to...

    Tandem tyres

    Morning all, I've just bought a tandem, ebay special, very pleased with it too. TBH, I only bought it to do a charity ride with a friend in June (Wolverhampton to Aberdovey), but it may be that I can persuade the wife to go out on it too. I was looking to change the tyres for something with a...
