tyres

I have just fitted these........................ http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-prime-armour-road-tyre/ Very happy with them. I completed a 40 mile ride today and found them a lot smoother and comfortable than my previous tyres (700 - 25) these are 700 - 28. Still riding at 100 psi. I didn't...

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...

Gipiemme T Quattro 30S wheelset with Schwalbe Lugano 700x23 tyres. I've not ridden the wheels or tyres, they came to me as "spare" with a secondhand bike that I bought but I don't need any more wheels. The wheels appear to have seen very little use and come complete with Shimano 8/9S freewheel...

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

Barely used, just a handful of miles so they look brand new. Call it £30 for the pair posted, UK only of course. A quick internet browse shows they look about £28-29 each new. I don't have PayPal or anything so it'll have to be a trust based transaction, you transfer the money and I'll mail...

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...

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...

Hello everyone, I'm in need of new tyres for my mtb ( the old knobby ones are worn to bits and the rubber is cracking, about 9years old I think based on when I bought the bike). My main goal is to get speed improvement and ease of driving,I can deal with a bit less grip- I think the lowest...

Hi. Looking to go and get some tyres today for my Giant Toughroad SLR2. I want to buy two sets... 1. Road only journeys for fitness and solo leisure rides. 2. Journeys with my other half which will include gravel tracks and grass etc.. Can anybody recommend suitable tyres please. Don't want...

sorry folks but am looking for advice on tyres. Running the stock Rouler on the Suffolk but the weather has proven how skittish they are to the extent that I cut my speed going down Wimbledon hill. Soooo, any suggestions for grippy but fast, all weather for a heavy commute 28s would be much...

Airless tyres popped up on my facebook feed yesterday, so I did a bit of digging. Made by Tannus, easy to fit, 6000mi +, NO PUNCTURES, lighter than most clinchers, years of development and research, no need to carry pump, tubes, CO2 cannisters, tyre levers etc, equivalent pressure of 100 PSI...

I have 2x Schwalbe Land cruiser tyres 700x40 and 3x Continental inner tubes (schrader valves) to fit, for sale. All used very little. £10 for the lot; collection from 10 miles south west of Bath I could offer postage but the cheapest I can find is using Hermes at £5.95

supposedly the next big thing; anyone got any experience with them?

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...

I fitted a set of these to my brother's MTB and have bought a set for myself. Fine for bimbling around Clumber Park on the trails. £4 each (currently) http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/TYGEMEII/geax-mezcal-tnt-ii-26-inch-folding-tyre

So many people swear by Schwalbe Marathon Plus, but I use them on my bike and today I had my third puncture this year. After he first one in January, caused by a piece of glass in the front wheel, I fitted a brand new M+ but 6 weeks later I had another puncture, caused again by a piece of glass...

Need to impose myself on you all again for some advice... :blush: I find myself having to convert my MTB into a commuter at short notice - for Tuesday 22nd and for the next three or four months thereafter. Basically the bike is something anonymous that I can leave in the station racks all day...

Anyone run these tyres, whats puncture protection like ? Looking for something swift on tarmac but also capable of some gravel/off road stuff. https://www.edinburghbicycle.com/continental-cyclocross-race-folding-tyre.html Can get them cheaper than they sell for.

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...
