    Gravel Tyres

    I'm having problems navigating the minefield that is gravel tyres. I have been running some Panracer Gravelking 35's for a few months now and they ride great. However, at that size or bigger they only do tubeless compatible tyres and I don't want to run tubeless (maybe one day, but not yet) so...

    Trek Alpha - Is it OK to get 25 tyres instead of original 23?

    Apologies if this has been covered but I did not find what I was looking for via a Google search and I'm new so apologies if this in the wrong section. After a maiden ride on my (new to me) second hand Trek Alpha 2.3, I had a quick look at the tyres and could see signs of potential previous...

    Sporty, cheap, puncture resistant tyres?

    Yeah I know, it doesn't quite work like that :laugh: For my bike over in Spain which is currently being ridden by the brother in law; I took the semi-knobbly adventure road tyres off in the spring and put 32mm gatorskins on purely for puncture protection. He's hit a cats eye today and managed...

    Schwalbe Big Apple balloon tyres

    Bike's had an annoying little bump once per wheel rev. Inspected the tyres and there's a bit of an indentation on one. Looks like a defect to me but I've no experience with these massive tyres. Thoughts? Schwalbe Big Apple 60-559

    Continental Diesel MTB tyres 62-559 / 26" x 2.5 (lightly used) deadstock

    Continental Diesel MTB tyres 62-559 / 26" x 2.5 (lightly used) deadstock Bought these in Winter 2011 for riding in snow. They went on the bike (a disc-spec Subway) but the chainstays were marginally too narrow so rubbed the rear tyre slightly (see pic below where the wear is visible on the...

    Giant Crosscut Gravel 1 Tubeless Tyres 700x40c - Pair

    These came fitted tubeless to my Revolt Advanced but are a bit too gravel orientated for me, so I swapped them out today for some wide roady slicks. These have a very comfy ride and have puncture protection built in. Less than 20 miles ridden so as new. £30 new each, looking for £35 for the...

    These vittoria tyres??

    Anyone got any views, particularly with regard to the sidewalls? I ask as I have a pair of very lightly used pair of vittoria randonneurs from the same source. Was very pleased with the ride but one of them cut on the sidewall (tube sticking out) after not a lot of use. Had been used on some...

    26" slick tyres for commuting

    I've been running 26x1.5 m+ on my MTB commuter bike, but not impressed with the lack of wet grip. Last week I had a puncture (drawing pin) and (unrelated) sidewall failure on the front which has prompted me to look for a replacement, but the choice in 26" seems quite limited. I'm looking for at...

    Letting Down Car Tyres.

    Yesterday I had a very close pass from somebody in a people carrier. There was no excuse: nobody was coming in the opposite direction and there was plenty of space to pass me without almost knocking me off. When I pulled into the supermarket car park I noticed the car parked there. It got me...

    Conti Gatorskin tyres - are some rims easier than others?

    I've used Gatorskin 700x23 tyres for years on Mavic Open Pro rims without any great problem, but now have another bike with Shimano RS61 wheels, and find that fitting a new Gatorskin on the rear wheel is a nightmare (the front was far easier). I won't bore you with all the details - suffice to...

    Strange going ons with my tyres

    Hi. I think my bike is possessed by some evil entity sometimes. Its happened three times now, and each time its made me jump out of my skin. I go for a long bike ride and all is well. When i get home though, my bike seems take on a mind of its own. I park it up against the radiator in the...

    Mudguard suggestions for 2.0ins tyres on 650b wheels?

    Hello good pedaling people. I'm finding it hard to find a nice pair of plastic mudguard, that will fit 650b wheels with 2.0 inch tyres. Obviouslly, they must cover the full width of the tyres, and I prefer plastic ones with 100% metal stays (no breakable plastic bits on them). Any suggestions? GBR.

    Tyres - odd behaviour

    Hi all, I was not too sure in which forum this should be categorised but anyway; I have changed my tyres on my adventure/gravel bike from quite knobbly mtb type tyres to tubeless Panaracer gravel kings but they feel really odd. The rounded profile of the tyre seems to make the bike less stable...
