    Thinking about new tyres.

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

    How long should Road tyres stay properly inflated?

    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...

    23mm Latex tubes in 28mm tyres?

    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...

    Touring tyres

    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...

    Two unused Michelin Pro Race 700 x 20mm purple tyres - £10 Dewsbury, West Yorkshire

    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...

    Tyres

    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...

    27" rims and fast tyres

    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...

    Help with tyre choice crisis please!

    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...

    Brompton tyres

    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.

    Can anyone recommend some 700x32c tan wall tyres?

    Hi All, The stock tyres, Continental Sport Contact tyres (700x32c), that came with my bike, a 2014 Genesis Day One Alfine 8, are now worn out and need replacing because the tread is pretty bare and the casing is splitting. For no other reason than I like the look of them I quite fancy a set of...

    Wide, supple tyres - what's the current state of the market?

    My brother uses Compass tyres which I've been gently lusting over for ages. Unfortunately, their price has gone from eye-watering to outrageous - the extra supple ones now cost about £70 each if you live in the UK. I've been using Vittoria Voyager Hypers for years but I think they've been...

    Anyone used Michelin Power Endurance tyres?

    I was considering a pair of Michelin V2 Endurance 28c tyres for my felt V50 but they have been superceded by Michelin Power Endurance which allegedly have better puncture resistance and lower rolling resistance. Anyone tried either of them?

    Are these tyres borked?

    Or is the red bit with the 'cracks just poncey cosmetics?

    Skinny or fat tyres?

    No, I'm not going to ask the same old question again, just a recent experience... I've always ridden steel touring bikes, with 27 x 1 1/4 wheels - tyres generally between 28mm and 32mm. It's the perfect all-round bike style for me. And since I took up cycling again a couple of years ago I've...

    Bigger Tyres Same pressure Harsher ride ??

    I had a pair of bontrager racelight 32s in the shed and thought I would try them on my Felt V50 road bike instead of the factory fitted Lugano 28s. The Luganos are slow rolling tyres . The ride on the felt is quite comfortable bike handles ok and seems to grip the tarmac well. My experience...
