tyres

I've been looking at Giant TCR bikes and most of them have tubeless tyres whereby a sealant plugs a puncture. Are these any good or do you think it's better to do it the old fashioned way with an inner tube? The bike shop said either the sealant or the inner tubes can be used

I am in Beijing at the moment and spotted these solid tyres with holes fitted to a rental bike. I have never see them before and thought you lot might be interested.

...I can push that up to 28s next time I need tyres!

I've been told by my LBC not to tour on my 33mm Maxxis mud wrestler cyclocross tyres. They're light, handle grit and snow well and don't puncture easily, but apparently, they will wear out quickly once loaded and might come off the rim. I weigh 85kg and carry about 10kg of kit and food. I'm...

A few tyres which I'll never use. Some new, some used a bit. 4 x schwalbe blizzard, 3 are 700x25 and one is 700x23 2x kenda 700x25. No more description on them but they came on my wife's new Pinnacle/Evans bike Free to collector in Ealing, West London

I am buying a new Jamis Aurora Elite. It comes with Clement Xplor USH 35mm tyres which are getting good online reviews, but my touring experience has 90% of tourers on Schwalbe Marathons. On a previous tourer with 700 wheels (Galaxy clone) I managed fine with 28mm tyres. What difference will...

Hi, I've covered just under 9000 km's through 12 countries on 700x50 Marathon Supreme Evo and I've like them, other than blowing 3 sidewalls. I've had 2 sets of these tyres and only have one left. I'm returning to Vietnam in a few weeks to continue on, and was thinking about taking 2 more Evo's...

I went to the football match at Accrington today, to get back and find my two passenger side tyres had been slashed. What a shocker! Not so much the cost but the resulting hassle of trying to contact the woman who was looking after my dog while i was out,who i told i'd pick him up at 5.30. I...

I started commuting on my new bike and it is so much nicer than my old one, it comes with Panaracer Comet Hardpack 700x38C tyres. I hadn't given it much thought as it doesn't look like a proper off road tyre like my old bike used to have but a colleague saw it and asked if I was going to put...

I've been thinking about this, probably due to the recent hot weather we have been having. When I was in my early teens, in the early 1970s, it was quite common for random elderly men (it was always elderly men) advising us kids to beware of leaving our bikes in direct sun. The reason being is...

Merlin cycles currently have an offer on these. Just purchased two of these tyres. Free postage on orders of £20, so adding a tube or whatever to the order gets you free postage. Easy to take on & off with plastic levers. On my Durano raceguards I find that I can invariably get the tyre...

My wife's road bike has always had flat tyres if left for a few days, I've never understood why. The tyres are continental 23c on a standard 700 rim and it's both of them, at the same rate and time that go flat First noticed it a few years back after it hadn't been used for some time (I...

I've some tyres I want to use in 28 sizes.I know my bikes won't take them on the rear as there isnt enough clearance, but the fronts are ok.So is there anything to stop putting 28 on front and 25 on rear ?

Morning Folks! I have Continental Gatorskin Hardshell 25s tyres on both my BMC and Giant Road bike and I swear by these. As you know, I have recently bought a Bianchi road bike. The tyres on this bike are Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Slick 25s. I was going to fit Continental Gatorskin Hardshell but...

Hardly used Best puncture resistant tyre you can buy £20 the pair posted. SOLD

Watching the TV, it looks like the riders pick much chunkier tyres for today's nasty surfaces.

And wanting a little more comfort. Want to go to 28s, will they fit, do you think? Edit: 23s currently fitted.

I have a road Cycle with 700 x 25C tires. I pump them up to 95 PSI, but after a week with about 50 miles on them the PSI has dropped to about 75 PSI or less. Can someone tell me if this is normal because it happens in both tyres front and back. If it isn't normal then what could be causing this...

So the problem I have is that I need the valves to be 60mm long because of the deep section wheels. I've had 23mm Latex tubes in 25mm tyres with no issues, but going to 28mm might be stretching it a bit if you pardon the pun. Or even if I could find a 25mm latex tube with a very short valve...

OK first recumbent tour this summer to euro velo route from Roscoff towards Nantes. Not far each day because a 5 year old is with us. I don't know the route but believe it's canal paths, riverside routes, old railway lines and minor roads. So I'm expecting tarmac hard packed gravel, a little...

Tyres being - https://www.vittoria.com/eu/catalog/product/view/id/2211/s/corsa-control-15450/category/306/ Rims being Pacenti SL25s I know Sheldon would say it's wrong, but is it wrong enough to cause concern?

Specialized Nimbus Armadillo (pair) 26x1.5 Hardly used (pretty much as new) with less than 40miles but a bit dirty/marked due to storage High quality touring/hybrid/commuting tyre - latest model (same tyre) are 30 each! £17 posted Pair of Schwalbe Big Ben 27.5x2 (as new, less than 20miles) £17...

These are two tyres which have been fitted to a pair of wheels and then stored. For several years. The tyres seem OK but there is minor cracking around all the edges which comes with age. They've come off a pair of Specialized Roval's which seem to be from 2010 so they're about 8 years old...

Hi there. I'm just back from a 5 day cycle of the Caledonian Cycle Way (Rothesay to Inverness). I took my BMC Team Machine SLR03 carbon bike. I had fitted this with Continential Grand Prix tyres - size 25. However, during the cycle, I got a puncture in the side wall - we put a temporary...

First time on Vintage section, so "Hello!":hello: What brings me here is that I've just bought a lovey Viscount Aerospace Pro which has the original hubs but mismatched knackered rims and rusty spokes, so the obvious thing is to re-rim them with something nice and new.... in an appropriate...

I'm planning my LEJOG for later this summer, and aiming for a fairly fast pace, spreading it over seven days of actual cycling (plus one or two rest days). I'll therefore be travelling mainly on faster roads. I also have support so will be travelling light. I was going to use Continental 4...

Having just lashed out on some Schwalbe Kojak tyres, I'm just wondering whether the fact they're lighter and have a different tread pattern to the Marathons they'll replace will have any impact on performance, especially given the Brompton is a heavy bike and used for shopping, touring etc.
