    Tyres for a B'Twin Triban 500SE

    When the Cube Peloton arrives, the B'Twin will become my commuter bike. As it's winter, apparently, I'd like to replace the Vittoria Rubino slicks it's currently wearing with something more suitable for wet weather, however I can only go to 25mm due to clearances. I'm thinking Schwalbe...

    What have I done wrong this time (Part 2)?

    Part 1 is here: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/what-have-i-done-wrong-this-time.191406/ So part 2 is my rear tyre. Got a puncture, checked for sharp bits, change the tube, made sure of no twist or pinches, inflated it with a co2 cart and it looks like the tyre has failed again. Had to ride...

    Using studded tyres

    Two falls on ice by others in my cycling group earlier today has persuaded me to buy some studded tyres. My weapons of choice are a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Winters. The question is what can I expect of them? I grasp they need to be run in on asphalt, and they give more ice/snow grip at...

    Touring on 25c tyres

    I have just bought a Carbon bike for light touring. It will take 28c tyres, which I always use for touring. I am now looking at getting a Planet X Carbon bike for Jannie but they only take 25c tyres Does anyone use 25c for touring? We will mostly be on roads and hard packed tracks and with...

    Top Tip. Fitting Schwable Marathon Plus Tyres

    Tried fitting a pair of Schwable Marathon Plus tyres to my Triban 300. Looked impossible but found the solution. I took them to my LBS. They fitted mine for a tenner, money well spent!

    Hutchinson Atom Comp Tyres

    Anyone ever used these tires and could give me an opinion on them. Planet X are selling these today at 4pm for 9.99 each reduced from 46.99. Seems they are very light at 160 grms each so understand that the puncture resistance might be low but may be ideal for 10 and 25 TT's in 2016 Any views...

    what are fairly puncture resistant tyres that are easy to get on and off?

    Another puncture today....averaging a couple a month at this rate. Got a Shizuoka hoy with the Kendra tyres that came with it. As light as the tyres are I would sacrifice a bit of speed for some puncture resistance. I hear marathon plus are a nightmare to get on so if I did get a puncture (less...

    are 25mm tyres deeper than 23mm as well as wider

    I have seen some Conti 25mm tyres on Wiggle that are a bargain. Currently I have Conti 23mm. The 25mm are presumably wider by 2mm. How much deeper will they be? I have close fitting mudguards which may be a problem

    Tubular tyres - suggestions please ...

    My youngest is getting tubs to go with his new race bike. I've only ever used clinchers so have a question about which ones are best. He'll be using different wheels on the road with these only for races. Any thoughts please? Preferably ones which don't break the bank.
