tyres

So I changed the tyres on my daughters bike I know I’ve got some fiddling to do to sort the gears out but she’s saying it’s hard to get going? I’m hoping I’ve just over tightened the nuts........ My question is , is there a right or wrong way to put the front tyre back on? There’s no...

My friend has sent me some images of a bike she is fixing up to sell. It looks like an old children’s racing bike. Could anyone help with finding correct replacement tyres and tubes, a link would be great. Markings on the tyre say 25-541/540 Hutchinson HP25. The tyre is also marked 600 A 24” The...

I have tubeless tyres on my Whyte 905 with Stans No tube sealant in. Probably topped up a 3 or 4 times in last couple of years (dont do massive miles on it) and had no problems but wondered when to remove, clean out & replace sealant etc. or if it needs doing Ta

HI all Toying with the idea of changing the 25mm tyres on my endurance road bike to 28mm, anyone got any recommendations or should i stay on 25's. Cheers

In late 2019, I purchased a Giant Escape 0, with EasyRide "tubeless" tyres, fitted as standard. Since then, I have been happily riding around with a tubeless puncture repair kit, and, just in case, a spare inner tube, plus pump of course. Today, disaster struck, a puncture. which was too large...

I was going to use the Dawes Clubman that I bought from @biggs682 to do a Spain tour with my daughter, we should be out there now.........it's just been sat unloved at the bike of the garage. :sad: Having gone bike buying crackers this month, a Merida Cyclocross & a Revolution Hybrid in and a...

Looking for some Maxxis Locust 24” cyclocross tyres. metric size is 520. bike is a Hoy locust and 6 yr old waiting to go out training. anyone with info let me know please. new or used. many thanks.

Changed my wheels so my old ones are up for grabs... Genuinely good & straight wheels, recently serviced hub (I even bought the proper DT swiss grease!). Including GP4000 tyres (approx 200 miles use). Minor marks on the wheels, bit of flaking on the hub. Big pictures available here £250...

I realize it has been discussed many times already, but.... So what's the forums go to fast touring tyre in 35-40mm, no marathon please? Fast, puncture proof, hard wearing, easy to handle, cheap? I have some cheapo vittoria revolution, which are almost all of these apart from fast

I tried superglue/gorilla glue and thought it was working but just inspected and it has now come out of all the nicks I thought I had filled with it! Is there a more flexible glue that works better, or even some fine filler material that can be glued in the gaps? Edit - or will I have more...

Thought I'd do a bit of a pimp my ride for my long suffering Carrera Subway. The rims are stock and a bit wonky, the tyres are okay but something with really low rolling resistance would be much more fun. Any thoughts on upgrades for both? The current tyres are 26 - 1.6. Would I be able to get...

Rather than go all out and purchase a second bike, I would like to invest in some proper thinner road tyres for my Tricross Sport. How do you decipher which tyres to buy? Sizes and inner tunes etc..? Can you put them on the existing wheels? Any recommendations on brand ? Cheers P_C

already have sime in my wheels, but i am needing new tyres but cause i already have slime put into it, would that mean i would have to get a whole new wheel or not?

Having sold a bike of course I had to replace it with another one, I bought a new 2019 Cannondale Synapse from Pauls Cycles, there was a bit of a delay on delivery as they were overwhelmed by orders. It came with WTB Exposure Tan Wall tyres set up with tubes, but both rims and tyres are...

Hi, I have a carrera subway (Hybrid) that is currently kitted out with Kenda K841 Komfort tyres. I tend to ride mainly on roads, tarmaced lanes, and ocassionally across a path though a field or trail. Can anyone recommend what tyre to go for. I have 26 wheels, does the replacement need to be...

I have a Specialized Purgatory and Continental Mountain King, both 29" x 2.2" available for £10 each or £15 for the pair. Collection in Eastleigh, Hampshire. Plenty of tread/wear remaining in these, I just don't have a 29er MTB at the moment so don't need these.

I'm going to be using my Dawes Fox to commute to work these fine summer weeks, but I need to replace the tyres. The route is a twelve miler part urban, mostly rural with the obvious danger of the usual detrius on roads / cyclepaths. My regular bike; a GT Outpost is shod with Marathon Plus, as I...

For years I went with Gatorskins and was happy with them. The new bike came with Vittoria Zaffiro. I confess they are a new name to me. Not done many rides on it for numerous reasons but haven't noticed and problems ie they seem smooth and I am not struggling. Just wondered what the more...

I have RSP AD3.0 wheels on my raleigh mustang elite with 36mm wide tubeless tyres. Is it possible to reduce tyre width to 32mm or 28mm? Thanks guys.

On a lovely little ride and my tyre gave up the ghost. Thankfully I wasn't going fast etc... But what did shock me today was when looking at tyres on Wiggle there isn't much stock... even less choice when you look at tubes. Are they all made in China or something and there is supply problems?

Are cycle tyres the same as car tyres ie having a finite lifespan irrespective of wear? I have some Marathon Deluxe (lightweight tyres only available in certain markets) that are around 5 or 6 years old with very few miles on them that I am thinking of giving away to a neighbour. Just wanting...

These were kindly donated to me (along with some others) by another forum member, but I've taken what I need and have no use for these. We have the following: - Michelin Wildgripper PR Rear, 26x2.1" / 47-559 - Maxxis Summotorother 26x2.1" / 47-559 - Unbranded 26x2.1" All are wire-beaded and...

Morning everybody. I'm looking for tyres and tubes for my mavic ksyrium wheel set. These currently.dont have anything fitted to them and I will probably only use these during the summer months. I also need a few spare tubes. Where is best place to purchase? I've been looking at wiggle so far...

Having now covered about 200 miles on my new CdF I'm thinking maybe I was a little too generous to the WTB Riddlers it came with. Perhaps unsurprisingly since they've been used a lot on the road, I've found noticeable wear to the tread already (again, unsurprisingly especially on the rear)...

Hi folks, with my boundless sense of timing I acquired an old steel Bianchi a few weeks ago, planning on upgrading during the summer as well as getting some rides in, then a repaint over winter.... well... the long rides are out... anyway I fitted a set of Vittoria Corsa Graphene tanwalls within...
