    Can i pump my tyres up more than the recommendation on the tyre wall?

    The tyres on my new bike seem soft. When i squeeze them they have quite a bit of give in them. If i squeeze them on the tyre wall between my thumb and forefinger they go in a few millimeters. If i use my thumb nail to press the top of the tyre(the bit that makes contact with the road) they go in...

    Panniers and Tyres

    I will be doing the trans penine trail in a couple of months. I plan to take my hybrid and will need new tyres and panniers. Can anybody recommend any panniers suitable for the job, but not too expensive? It will be over 3 days, so need to fit enough stuff in for 2 nights. It's very likely...

    Spare tyres

    <Just a quick rant...> I seem to have too many spare tyres! Where do they all come from? I have to get all tyres (bikes, panniers, racks, tents, rucksacks, shoes, groundsheet/footprints, pegs...) spotlessly clean for the move to Australia (temporary 3-4 yr secondment) and so far excluding the...

    Solid Tyres. Is this a good or bad idea for a road bike.

    They're stating 9,000 miles before they needing replacing. http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/product-news/return-solid-tyre-143850 http://www.thesolidtyre.com/tannus-solid-tyres/700x23c-road-city.html http://www.thesolidtyre.com/tannus-700x23c.html

    Why do cross bike tyres need less pressure?

    Moronic question time again. Can anyone clarify for me why cx tyres need less pressure? Sure it's a simple explanation, but I can't figure it out. Is it just because the bike is supposed to be on trails? In which case if it is often on the road can the pressure be increased?

    Kenda Small Block 700 x35 Folding CX Tyres Like New.

    Hi, I've got 2 of these which I got on my tourer but I took them off straight away and replaced with touring tyres. They have been used for about 5 miles in total each so like new really. I'm after £15.00 for the pair and its either free collection from me in Leeds or I'll post them for cost and...

    Putting road tyres onto CX wheels

    I'm looking for advice/suggestions for putting some Schwalbe Marathon + tyres onto my Focus Mares AX Tiagra instead of the Rocket Rons. I'll be using the Focus mostly as a long-distance day tourer (100-200+ miles every now and then). I'll still be using my CAAD 10 as my main bike for shorter...

    Anyone fitted 28mm tyres to a Synapse?

    It has 25mm fitted right now but for that bit extra comfort on our pitted country roads I would like to fit 28mm tyres. Anyone done it? It's not the disc brake model, just a sora Synapse.

    Tubeless tyres are awesome!

    I think this would have even defeated Marathon Plus tyres: it was 35mm long! With tubeless, I only noticed it due to the noise on the road every wheel revolution.

    Fitting new Tyres

    Hi guys, I just purchase a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Plus for my bike to replace the tyres the bike came with originally. All the numbers on the tyres match up, however, upon trying to fit the Marathon Plus tyres, they just seem way too big. I can fold one side of the tyre in, however, it seems...

    20" tyres

    Worth recycling this topic because tyre technology and availability changes. One if the disadvantage of the 20" wheel is that it's not mainstream, so there's limited choice. Schwalbe seems to be the main producer of tyres for 20" wheels. Puncture protection and rolling resistance is always...

    Changing the tyres on my CX

    After a bit of advice, I'm fairly new to riding a CX/Road/Gravel bike, I have a Boardman CX Team 2014 and i am currently running it on the standard knobbly tyres. When should I change these to slicks and what is the best tyre size to go for on these? Thanks

    Tubeless tyres

    Having got a brilliant deal on some tubeless ready tyres, I have just fitted some schwalbe g-one tubeless tyres. A bit of a faff to fit, but not that tricky. Haven't been on a long ride yet, but will try them out properly on the commute tomorrow.

    Understanding tyres

    I've been cycling for a while and have a road and an MTB but still don't really understand tyres! Am I right in thinking on dry roads slick tyres have the potential to give the best grip due to surface contact but on wetter roads you want some tread? I'm riding my MTB over the winter and...

    All about wheels and tyres

    As a cycling community most of us tend to focus on frames and the drivetrain components. So much so that bike brands have more or less moved to provide similar specs for the various price bands. The wheels and tyres however are pretty much stock and entry level grades except for the top range...

    Are used tyres of use to anyone?

    I usually just chuck them in the bin, but it has occurred to me that my idea of worn-out and someone elses might be quite different. Perhaps someone can still use them on an old hack that they use to go to the pub, or art projects or something. I don't know. In any case I have 3 sitting...

    Spiked ice tyres

    It'll be -1° when I go to work tomorrow. But, most of the roads I use are fairly traffic heavy, so the ice will probably have gone. Do I go to the effort of swapping out my tyres for the ice ones tonight or not?

    Frost - will changing tyres make me less likely to end up on the deck (again)?

    On my ride this morning I turned a corner on a frosty path and ended up on the deck. I use 23c slicks (which have never punctured). As I see it, whatever route I take when riding in the winter, particularly early morning, this is always going to be a risk. Is there anything I can do to reduce...

    How long should road tyres last ?

Tyres are bog standard Giant PSL1 700 x 23mm on a defy carbon. Road use is normal as in a mixture of tarmac and tarmac/gravel. I have...
