Hi everyone,
So 'new bike day' came and went a couple of weeks ago. I was sick of replacing parts on my road bike due to commuting on it in all weather, so I found a nice Genesis Day One on ebay and went and picked it up.
Its steel framed with drop bars, disc brakes, full mudguards and a Nexus 8 IGH. For commuting and general pottering about it's amazing.
One problem - I've had two punctures in two weeks, both when riding along the well paved canal towpaths I sometimes use to commute. Its fitted with 35mm CST Sensamo Speed tyres, which I've decided are pretty crap. I run Conti GP5000s on the road bike, and had GP4000s before that, and never had these problems!
So tyre recommendations please! Somewhere around the same 35mm size, good puncture resistance and fairly fast on road would be nice. Also anything with a tan wall option would probably look awesome on the bike!
Cheers,
Chris
