tyres

Can't we.

The tyres that were supplied with my Brompton are sucking the life out of me. They are Marathon Plus. 16x13/8 So any recommendations as to a better rolling, quicker tyre. Obviously I will be trading off the puncture protection of the Plus', but dammit, they really are hard work.

Only used a few times so in excellent condition.

I have a resprayed Carlton tru well frame (which i bought ages ago cos i felt sorry for it) hung in my garage. I've had the thought of making it into more of a gravel style racer: nothing too ruffty-tuffty, just able to cope with the odd track or flat-ish common. Are there any tyres in 27" that...

Has anyone tried any of the new Pirelli tyres that have just arrived in stores? Intrigued to hear what they’re like.

Only thing is my forks dont have a bolt hole where a calliper would normally be attached. Also my forks are not round, would P clips work for funny shaped forks? Front one is all I need.

Does anyone have a source for these?... Or 32-305's... Signal to noise ratio on google is too bad :-(

Since having another puncture after running over some loose gravel i'm thinking about swapping out my 'Continental Grand Prix 4000S II Folding Road Tyre' for the gatorskin ones. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/continental-gatorskin-folding-road-tyre/ I've tried running PSI from 80 to 120 but I've...

As the title really. What's the widest tyre anyone's fitted into a Holdsworth Elan frame? Looking at the clearance (currently got 25mm Hutchinson nitro 2) I could probably get a 32mm in there but it would leave any clearance for guards.

Someone dumped 4 car tyres at the local play area this week. The next day I spotted some at a recently demolished building site. Clearly there is some incentive to dump them. How much does it save?

In the good weather I use my carbon roadbike with carbon wheels and rim brakes (carbon brake tract), and based on my experience of commuting in London with this setup over the past winter, and even wet summer days, the brakes are just completely inadequate once wet. So, happy days, it's new...

I've fitted Tannus tyres to my Brompton. Fitting them is probably worth a thread of its own, but suffice to say it's doable at home but very difficult - and I consider myself a fairly competent home mechanic. I've done 10 miles on them and my initial impressions are that they're absolutely...

New and unused, unfitted. £35 the pair, posted.

Schwalbe 700c clincher folding tyres, 28mm width - and they are not noticeably undersized in width. One pair of Ultremo ZX, maybe 300 miles on them. One tyre had a small puncture in the tread which is hard to see. £15 including postage for the pair...

I've got a PlanetX London Road and have recently suffered a puncture from a small piece of glass. Its time to get some proper tyres. I'm tempted by Schwalbe Marathon Plus, but at 35C they weigh 900g. I don't go off road very often. Could I step down to 28C(750g)? or is there another brand I...

I have a pair of schwalbe pro one tubeless 28mm tyres for sale. Brand new boxed these retail at £35 each. Looking for £52 delivered

In recent weeks I've had three instances of tubes letting go, apropos of nothing. They are pumped to 100psi. The tubes are supposedly able to take that pressure. Evidently they can't. I'm suspecting I've been sent a crap batch (10 X ITS tubes with long stems from InnerTubeShop.com; I'll be on...

When I have to replace the tyres on my Trice QNT I'm thinking of upgrading to Schwalbe Big Apples for a little extra comfort and I am also considering going tubeless. However has anyone attempted this and how successful/difficult was it?

Anyone use these tyres thoughts please

I have a pair of Continental Ultra Sport tyres for one of my bikes, and I quite like them so I got a spare when I saw some going cheap - they're 27 x 1 1/4, so I thought best grab them while I can. The thing is, I've only just noticed the new one is different - exactly the same name and size...

My new bike will have 25 mm tyres, what differences can I expect from the 23mm tyres on my current bike? I assuming they will be more comfortable and perhaps more puncture resistant but maybe there will be a decrease in speed?

I've had my tyres on the wrong way, the rear for over two years, I bought this year's tyre model yesterday and it now has a new arrow pointing in the direction of travel on the side wall. Changed the tyres, so both are now the correct orientation, but, no discernible difference on my ride. :cry:

Is anyone here running tubeless tyres on their daily ride? I am seriously considering putting them on my hybrid as they seem like a great idea but they are still a pretty new deal and quite expensive hence any genuine experiences would be good to hear about.

You check them and they look like this....

I have just fitted these........................ http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-prime-armour-road-tyre/ Very happy with them. I completed a 40 mile ride today and found them a lot smoother and comfortable than my previous tyres (700 - 25) these are 700 - 28. Still riding at 100 psi. I didn't...

I recently bought myself a new bike that was technically second hand but from a charity shop that specialises in finding virtually unused bikes and selling them at very keen prices. The only issue that I have is that I have been spending a lot of time deciding which tyre I should get to replace...

Gipiemme T Quattro 30S wheelset with Schwalbe Lugano 700x23 tyres. I've not ridden the wheels or tyres, they came to me as "spare" with a secondhand bike that I bought but I don't need any more wheels. The wheels appear to have seen very little use and come complete with Shimano 8/9S freewheel...

Hi If needed can I put my Marathon Plus tyres (700x40c) from my older bike onto my newer bike which currently has tyres sized at 700x38c. I'm sure these questions get asked all the time. I have looked online but I'm struggling to get my head around it. Thanks in advance

Barely used, just a handful of miles so they look brand new. Call it £30 for the pair posted, UK only of course. A quick internet browse shows they look about £28-29 each new. I don't have PayPal or anything so it'll have to be a trust based transaction, you transfer the money and I'll mail...
