tyres

Hi there I want to put some winter tyres on my bike and have the following spare pairs of tyres in the house (not including the one round my middle!). What ones would be best for putting on the bike for winter riding: Continental Ultrasport Continental Grandsport Race Schwalbe Durano Are any...

Really couldn't get on with the skinny tires, so changed them over to some wider ones, deffo feels better on the slight off-road ride, looks better as well ... :becool:

Talking of winter tyres, is anybody aware of studded tyres that come in 28mm widths? I've googled, but they all seem to be in much wider tyres and my Ribble winter/audax frame, just takes 28mm tyres. As a victim to black ice a couple of years ago, it would increase my confidence a tad when the...

I’ve always used Conti Gatorskins year round, great puncture protection but others suggest not great in the wet? I’ve not had that experience but don’t push my luck around corners on wet roads. My friend has just asked for winter/wet weather tyre recommendations for his wife’s Cube Agree, I’m a...

Anyone run the above on their gravel/CX bike ? Currently running Gravel Kings which to be honest are fine as tubeless. But might swap to something else when these wear out , Plus the terrano look good in the grey and black :-):laugh:

I bought these for a build that went in a different direction. 2 26 x 1 3/8 Schwalbe Delta Cruiser tyres with white/tan sidewalls. Please note these are ISO 37x590 or 650 x 35a, NOT the usual 26" mountain bike tyres. Please check these are what you need. They are still in their packaging as...

I am looking to max out the tyre width for my Cannondale Topstone. It currently has the stock WTB Riddler 37cs with plenty of room. I'm also aware that Cannondale Topstone have an advertised max tyre width of 40c though they also say that this has loads of additional clearance. But I am always...

These came on a bike I recently bought, so unsure of mileage they have covered, but they look in excellent condition, with minimal use, they were just too big to fit with mudguards :sad: Looking for £20 posted

Someone's preparing early!!!

Long story short, after a couple of years off the bike, and several years not riding mtb I treated myself to a nice little hard tail a few months back. Back along several years, the OEM tyres on bikes used to be a bit poo, plus I wanted something a bit quick whilst I built a bit of bike...

Hi there. One of my friends has acquired a bike and has to buy new tyres. What size of tyres/tubes should he buy? I'm a road cyclist so I don't know! The information from the wall of the tyres: 26 x 1.75 and 26 x 1.95 I don't have any pics - sorry! Thanks in advance

My Spa Ti Audax runs on Rigida Chrina 36h rims / Sapim spokes and Schwalbe Durano 700c x 25 tyres with Shimano 105 hubs. The wheelset weighs in at around 1700 gms front + rear. I use the bike for fast touring - toolkit but no heavy luggage - so a total load of ~75-80kg. I’m looking for...

Maxis Minion DHR II EXO TR and Maxis Rekon 3C EXO TR, both 27.5 x 2.6, with tubes, folding, taken off my new bike, done 2 miles, as new, £60 posted

My wife is looking at getting new tyres for her e-bike for winter as her current tyres aren't particularly grippy in the wet. Should I be looking at e-bike specific tyres for her or can I just point her in the direction of an appropriate sized tyre with good grip and puncture protection?

I have decided to change my winter bike (2010 Defy 1) for a gravel bike. I cycle circa 300 miles a month and being the wrong side of 70, speed is now of no relevance. Whilst all my cycling is on ‘tarmac’ it is primarily on country lanes, wherein the quality of road surface is often dreadful...

Just thought I'd throw this up here as it may be of use to some. I've read reviews of Mondial tyres having weak sidewalls and my experience confirms this. The pictures attached are of a tyre removed yesterday. There's a distinct pattern of wear on both sides of the sidewall, although it's...

My ribble CGR came with 28mm ultra sport tyres -Ive had these before when having a new bike. Anyway I have a set of not much used GP4000S in 25mm and was going to swap these over. As I took the tube out it seemed quite large and the markings said Valvert 700 35/45 !!!!!! - I postponed the tyre...

I found an unused, un-packaged Vittoria Rubino 700x23 that I had forgotten about in the outside shed. It had probably been there for two or three years but judging by the tread, had never been used. I've used a dozen or so Rubinos in the past and have never had a problem fitting them. This...

Anyone give me a clue of a decent all-round tyre.Only for son's bike so something that will take some abuse so to speak. These any good ? https://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-tour-ride-city-mtb-tyre

Hi, I am now running my first set of tubeless tyres but struggle with topping up the psi. I can top them up but it takes a massive effort most of my 90kg bodyweight on the pump and it’s slow going just had massive resistance at 60-70psi. I Just wondered if that is how they are or if I should be...

I noticed today that my daughters 26" tyres are starting to perish on the side walls. I'm after something to replace them but not sure quite what to go for. Her bike is used for all sorts. A bit of road on the country lanes round us, a bit of gravel track on the old railway (properly converted...

Howdo, Just looking at a new set of tyres for a late-2005 P6R-X with olde worlde bottle dynamo driven off the rear tyre. Brilliant Bikes helpfully note in their listing for Schwalbe Marathon Plus 16 x 1.35 that they are not suitable for use with the bottle dyno. Therefore could anyone...

well first my riding . i like exploring ,i like seeing new places i like turning down lanes that look interested and i guess ,it could be classed as gravel . maybe ! its certainly not road its certainly not mountain biking to any extreme, but could be trails i had a Trek hybrid it was a bit...

I have a load of unuseable tyres to get rid of and was told by one place that Schwalbe dealers offered a recycling facility, but I think either he was confusing this with innertubes or was just telling porkies. Is there any more environmentally-friendly way of getting rid other than just...

My new beater / shopper is a 1987 Raleigh Routier with hookless "622x28" (21mm internal width) steel rims. I've recently discovered that not all tyres of the correct size will fit hookless rims (the 25c road item I tried to fit stated "only for hooked rims" on the side). So far it appears that...

I've got a Trek I've had about 8 years with Bontrager wheels that have "etrto 622 14" stamped on them. Also says "6061 T6", and "erd 590" - not sure what those two bits mean! I've had a look at Sheldon Brown's tyre size thing. The tyre size suggests size 13 can go to 25, whereas a 15 can go...

Dear cyclist, I was wondering if you had any advice on what tyres to buy. I have a pretty old road racing bike, the Giant Ocr Compact Road, which is in real bad need of some new tyres. The most important thing for me is that these tyres are durable and most of all grippy in all conditions. The...

Thinking of getting them for my gravel bike any ideas of they are any good

Hi all. Out some new conti GP5000s on my bike the other day and been out on them today (were great btw), but when got back and cleaning bike noticed these pits on the tyres, is this normal? Seems to be from manufacturing don't appear to have appeared on the ride... Thanks

Just wanted to post to say done my first tyre swap with "folding" tyres. Strange getting those out of the box and on the rim, but didn't need any levers to get the new ones on. It's that they're flat, very strange. Actually took a while to find the rotation mark on the sidewall (it's only on one...
