Bye bye p*nct*re fairy, it was nice knowing you.

I've had Tannus solids on one of my Hybrids for a while now. Today I fitted my ( smaller ) purchase from the bike show.

P*nct*re fairy, it was nice knowing you.

I did lose a bit of thumbnail fitting them, but I reckon that's a price worth paying. I've just test ridden a short route. All's goodI got a 'show special' price on them, so the cost was actually quite reasonable as well.

Was blue the only colour left?

They had black and pink as well ( in a 700*28 ). Black is soooooo last year, and it was the wrong sort of pink.

I'll be very interested to hear how you get on with them.

A very interesting product, what the ride quality like?

Hope you get on well with them - I might get some myself for the winter bike.

Here's a good indepth review of the tyres from @Andrew_Culture

So far, a little harsher than pneumatics, but not really that different, in terms of grip and traction. I've yet to try them in the wet, on the road bike. It wasn't a problem on the wider Hybrids tyres.

I loved them on the Hybrid, this is more of a leap of faith, hence they've gone on the 'mule' for now.

Presumably there's a hard case and some kind of spongey centre - so how long is the casing expected to last?

It's guaranteed for 5 years or 5000 miles. It's a variable density polymer, a bit like a rubber Wispa bar inside, with a tougher consistency at the surface, a bit like a Wispa bar in fact.

How easy are they to remove from the rim if you have to replace a spoke?

 

[Rooster1]

whats the weight difference compared to average tyre + innertube ? I guess I could look it up.
