tyres

Any recommendations? Ive got lugano on at the moment and they must have some kind of puncture protection as i just noticed a gash about 3mm long in the tyre. Dont know how its stayed up on me really! Im pretty sure that they have not been replaced since the bike was new 6 yrs ago! Any...

I have up for grabs a Maxxis Ardent Race 29x2.35 Tubeless Folding 3C Maxx Speed (EXO/TR) tyre. 120tpi 3C casing. Super fast, durable mtb tyre. Plus a Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.3 Tubeless EXO/TR tyre. Folding bead. Both tyres removed from a brand new bike - less than 20 miles ridden so as new...

These are the wheels/tyres that came supplied with my new Planet X cyclocross bike. Here is the info from the planet x site: Gipiemme Roccia Equipe 700c/29 Inch Disc Wheelset / Black / Shimano/SRAM 10/11sp Wheelset: Gipiemme are well known for their alloy and carbon fibre race wheels, now...

Older readers of Bike magazine will remember Paul Sample's Ogri biker cartoon which sometimes featured Nerg Nail, who lies in the road waiting for hapless motorcyclists then jumps up and punctures their tyres. Well Nerg Nail has a brother called Theo Thorn, who punctured my tyre today. My...

Today I received some discounted old stock tyres; reduced (with full disclosure) because they're a bit old and wonky. I've got them on the rims and had had reasonable success in keeping them straight by partially inflating them then trying to align the outer edge of the bead / grip surface with...

My brother has just given me these. He bought em on a whim but never used em. Anyone use these tyres and what are they like ?. Cant be any worse than the WTB tyres that are on at the moment. I really dont like them tyres at all.

Hey there! Just got some new Hutchinson overdrive tyres and one has a weird bulge when I fit it. I've fitted loads of tubeless tyres and have never seen this before. I'm thinking it's a manufacturing defect, what do others think? Is it safe to ride? Cheers A

Down the years I have fit many new tyres to my bikes and usually I have never had to resort to using tyre levers, until recently that is. Some time ago I acquired A vintage bike and before I used it I fit a pair of new tyres, which needed quite a bit of coaxing to get over the (Mavic) rims. At...

Quick one , how much is rolling resistance or effort required effected if the rotation direction of a tyre is fitted the wrong way , asking for a friend honest :whistle:

Finally got round to fitting a pair of Schwalbe Pro One tyres, Rode them yesterday for the first time, Felt really nice, am running them at about 85psi, Was a bit weary for the first few miles, but soon forgot about them and got on with the ride. No problems at all on the ride, and they seem...

Just bought one in 40-406, winter compound and sipes just like car winter tyres, for front wheel of recumbent. https://www.schwalbe.com/en/tour-reader/marathon-gt-365

Hi I am wanting to upgrade my Tyres on Carrera Vulcan Hardtail MTB, but wondering how to remove the back wheel so i can change the tyre.

Brought some maxxis high roller a couple months ago to replace the continentals and fitted as tubeless. Once fitted the back tyre wobble side to side when you spin the wheel, I thought the rim need re-turning and took it to a mechanic that I know. He said the rim is fine, he took the tyre off...

Ghetto tubeless for those that haven't come across the term is the name given to a tubeless setup on non-tubeless ready rims. I bought some cheap Mavic Aksium's recently to use as winter wheels and thought I'd have a go at a ghetto tubeless setup and have decided to share my learnings to date in...

What are people's thoughts on these?

I'm looking for some studded 27.5 x 2.4" tyres (or maybe a little narrower) that aren't extortionately priced. I think it might be timing, and low stock supplies with winter advancing, but I'm struggling to find anything below £60 per tyre. Sadly I couldn't plan ahead this year as I was...

This is the slightly (45mm) larger twenty inch wheel. I used it on my Metabikes recumbent briefly. Can be a handy solution if you want an in-between size: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/20-erto-451-barely-used-front-disc-wheel-two-tyres.255057/

Hand built 20" (ERTO 451) front disc wheel, 28 spokes, Sun Ringle CR18 rim, Hope Pro 2 Evo hub (OLN 100mm). Includes 2 tyres, Velox rim tape and spare left and right spokes. Used for maybe 200 miles. Durano 28mm tyre is unused (wire bead), plus Schwalbe HS110 37mm tyre which is the tyre it was...

A female colleague of mine has bought this bike, I've said to her that I'm happy to fit it with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres for puncture protection; I'm not sure what size the tyres are on already View...

Hello, I'm looking into getting a new flat-bar bike, for commuting and leisure riding, but also with the goal of increasing the distance I can ride (beyond 20 miles or so). I would want mudguards and a rear rack, but I'm also looking for a bike that is better-suited to covering distance...

T2 Maxxis tyres, came fitted on my bike but I swapped them for magic Marys. Very good condition no holes or tears. Fitted for about 6 weeks. Collection from Telford area or I will post them if u cover the postage.

Wheels are 36h Wolber Super Champion rims, not very worn, on Campag Nuovo Tipo hubs. Bearings overhauled with new balls and Phil grease but a bit pitted. They work fine. Set up for 120mm fixed with a 16T Dura-Ace sprocket. 27" tyres are Kenda and unused. Pick up from Swindon. Be quick or...

Just obtained a very nice set of 27" x 1 1/4 Campagnolo hub Mavic rimmed wheels. The existing tyres are perished so need replacing. The traditional tan wall 27 x 1 1/4 tyres look huge and not really in keeping with the wheels? Is there a lower profile racing type tyre available as thi would suit...

Case 62 mm tyres, so bigger distances to surround with V brakes, any solutions avail for this?

Do tyres perform equally under different loads, or should load be taken into account when choosing a tyre? A 65kg racer is a very different prospect to my 95kg plus pannier so I shouldn't expect the same experience as them if I used the same tyres as them, right? I didn't have much luck with...

I had a very enjoyable half day in the New Forest recently. So, I am thinking of tyres with more tread and width for the cycling trails there. I have no plans for serious offroad adventures but some off road capability would be useful. With mudguards the bike will accept 28mm tyres and...

4 tyres 2 Front wheels 3 Rear wheels. I understand one of these rear wheels maybe from a BMX bike as it has an axle that is thicker than the other 4 wheels? Ideal size for making a toe-along cycle cart. Collection only from S6O Rotherham. Just 2 miles from junction 33 of the M1, and 1/4...

As per title perfect wheelset Conti protection trail king and a evo snakeskin Hans Dampf both near new condition 6 bolt disc only, these can be set up tubeless with rim kit. Blade spokes £125 post will be £10

Ladies and Gents of CycleChat. I’m considering riding part of EV15 along the Rhine, probably the section between Strasbourg and Cologne/Koln. I would be lightly loaded with a single pannier on a Van Nicholas Yukon, shod with 28mm GP 4 Season tyres. I after the opinions of anyone who has...

I've acquired a pair of these tyres in 700 x 32c size fitted to a couple of hybrid rims. Until I looked closely I actually thought they were Marathons, since they had been on a commuting hack. What I want to know is does anyone on here run these Michelin tyres for commuting or touring, and is...
