Hi All.
Been off for a while, but back for advice.
Been commuting for a year now on a Marin Novato 09.
Great bike, very happy with it, but have just ordered a
Trek 1.9 road bike as I am fitter and want to start pushing my cycling a little further and the Marin can't really do that. I've been using Specialized Armadillo's on the bike for 7 months and only had 2 punctures, both from huge pieces of glass.
Am happy with them, but they don't come in a size narrow enough for a road bike (Unless I am looking in the wrong place)
What I am after is what's recommended out there as a good all year round puncture resistant tyre for road bikes. Because I am still not a racer, the tyres don't need to be slicks, but just safe and durable.
I've looked at a few, marathon plus and panaracer ribmo but these days there are a few to choose from, also, being new to road bikes, I thought I'd ask first.
Thanks a million.
San
