Gravel/CX bike came with a pair of these which have done me well for the past year and a half. Work well on the road and I haven't died going off road yet.
They're getting a bit soft though, and have always been prone to punctures. Thinking of replacing them wth a pair of Landcruisers - 40mm on front, 35 on back (front annoyingly has more clearance than back).
LCs will let me go off road more and up the Pentlands with a bit more confidence, but problem is they're almost double the weight. I ride on road a lot. Some days I just explore and hit trails, others I do 30+ mile road rides. Other days I'm commuting through Edinburgh's shrapnel ridden streets.
I'm not the fittest bloke in the world and struggle with hills as it is. Will the extra weight make a huge difference? I'm not fussed about gaining weight on the bike if I lose weight from my arse!
Anyone got any recent comments about the LCs on tarmac and their puncture protection? Does going for them seem like a good idea? Was gonna go for the G-Ones or X-Ones but I'm no racer, and the LCs are cheap and seem pretty bulletproof.
