    No photo yet but I've a pair of Schwalbe Ice Spiker tyres 26" that I'm hoping to swap for a 700c pair. They've been used in the sense that the bedding-in 10km has been done but never ridden on snow/ice. However they're stored outside under cover and bagged but some light surface rust has...

    Fitting New Tyres Has Cost Me A Fortune

    Decided to fit my Nokian Gazzaloddi's for the winter Friday last When putting on the tyres,I noticed that my rear thru axle bolt was not going through completely,so off to the shop I go. We discovered that I had stripped the end threads of the rear mech hanger,so that's why it wasn't going...

    Get a Grip Cornering

    Jan Heine (BQ Ed but also Compass Tyres) has written this article: why-slick-tires-dont-stick-well. Key assumption is that interlocking (ie mechanical) element of grip rubber/road when cornering becomes important, along with the normal adhesion (rubber/road) at the molecular level. Therefore key...

    Car tyres for winter

    I've fitted winter tyres to my car for the last few years, and am totally convinced by their effectiveness. My local garage stores them and I pay them to swap over the tyres at the end of Autumn and again in mid-spring. We've recently got a "litte runabout" as a second car, and frankly I would...

    26" Winter MTB tyres

    On the cheap if possible! Went out on my new MTB for the first time on Sunday and the Maxxis Cross max simply arent suitable for winter boggy riding! I dont mind if they're used, just as long as they'll put up with a few months riding whilst I work out if MTB is really for me! Thanks! Stephen

    Winter Commuting Tyres

    I was cycling home last night about 10.30pm on a damp road, and rounding a right hand bend my tyres lost their grip, bike shot away and wham, down I went like a sack of spuds. Fortunately there wasn't too much traffic, the car behind was going slow enough to stop rather than run me over. I...

    A spontaneous deflation

    Was sitting in my living room cuddling the cat, when a sudden hissss announced the rear tyre of my commuter going down, presta valve. Said tyre had been inflated to 80 psi two days ago (max 85) and had done 2x 10 miles meantime. This is not the first time similar happens to my bikes, it happened...

    Vittoria Rubino Pro tyres - 700 x 28 - Pair - SOLD

    I have a pair of these which have done a few hundred miles. Absolutely no issues with them, but obviously they have some wear - please see photo. I have gone tubeless and bought some Schwalbe S Ones to replace them. They're too good to throw away and I suspect that if I put them in a draw...

    CX tyres vs Gator Skins

    Put some Gator skins on my cx bike (which I mostly ride on the road) back in Spring and they have been excellent. Should I now put the cx tyres back on (Rapid Robs) for the seasonal change or should I stick with the gators?

    Pressure too low in tyres

    After my recent new purchase, I`m converting my Cannondale into a winter bike as my old mtb had finally died! Spoke to the LBS as I wanted something other than slicks for riding down the local towpaths and on cycle-paths that were slighlty less than smooth! They recommended Schwalbe Marathon...

    New Tyres

    Hi, just after some advice about tyres for my bike if possible. I've been riding for a while but I'm still fairly clueless when it comes to this sort of thing. At the moment I've got some 'slick' tyres on my mountain bike as most of my riding is commuting on roads/paths rather than offroad...

    New road tyres for my MTB

    Want to replace my knobblies with something more road biased but I imagine my Rocky will look a bit crap with slimmer skinnier tyres. Have seen some MTB`s wearing Schwalbe Kojaks 26 x 2.0 and they look pretty good, but is this my only option ?

    CX tyres

    what are the recommendations on gravel tyres ? Have a set of knobbly cX tyres but they do drag abit on the road and after running 25c road tyres all summer , they are harsh ( carbon frames do have some advantages)! So what are all you CX riders running on your commute ?
