Puncture-proof 29er tyres?

[harrow1977]

Hi Guys

I have a Spesh Hardrock 2013 MTB that I use for commuting (a lot along the canal path so the MTB comes in useful). I have some Kenda Happy Medium tyres that are great for both road and off-road.

What I'm looking for at the moment are some puncture-resistant 29er tyres that can be used on both surfaces (road/off-road) or at least that aren't too knobbly.

Any ideas?

Hi mate, just go tubeless and all your problems will be solved

hey!

I'm even struggling to find tubeless 29's that can be used on-road !

How about these:

They look ok, and litre of Stan's fluid, same tape and a couple of valves, and Roberts your dad brother

Thanks :-)

So with tubeless, there is much less chance of a puncture? Some people say to go for tubeless because it's actually easier to fix?

I was getting regular punctures, but not one since I switched 2000miles ago, check pressures every ride and occasionally need to top up but that's it

IIRC 29er is the same as 700c, just more commonly used term on mountain bikes. Take a look at marathon plus tour, as puncture proof as youll find, low rolling resistance for roads and works great for canal paths and trails - a bit heavy but you cant have everything

I use scwalbe sammy slicks cyclocross tyres with race guard. Awesome tyres
