tyres

Hi, I've covered just under 9000 km's through 12 countries on 700x50 Marathon Supreme Evo and I've like them, other than blowing 3 sidewalls. I've had 2 sets of these tyres and only have one left. I'm returning to Vietnam in a few weeks to continue on, and was thinking about taking 2 more Evo's...

I went to the football match at Accrington today, to get back and find my two passenger side tyres had been slashed. What a shocker! Not so much the cost but the resulting hassle of trying to contact the woman who was looking after my dog while i was out,who i told i'd pick him up at 5.30. I...

I started commuting on my new bike and it is so much nicer than my old one, it comes with Panaracer Comet Hardpack 700x38C tyres. I hadn't given it much thought as it doesn't look like a proper off road tyre like my old bike used to have but a colleague saw it and asked if I was going to put...

I've been thinking about this, probably due to the recent hot weather we have been having. When I was in my early teens, in the early 1970s, it was quite common for random elderly men (it was always elderly men) advising us kids to beware of leaving our bikes in direct sun. The reason being is...

Merlin cycles currently have an offer on these. Just purchased two of these tyres. Free postage on orders of £20, so adding a tube or whatever to the order gets you free postage. Easy to take on & off with plastic levers. On my Durano raceguards I find that I can invariably get the tyre...

My wife's road bike has always had flat tyres if left for a few days, I've never understood why. The tyres are continental 23c on a standard 700 rim and it's both of them, at the same rate and time that go flat First noticed it a few years back after it hadn't been used for some time (I...

I've some tyres I want to use in 28 sizes.I know my bikes won't take them on the rear as there isnt enough clearance, but the fronts are ok.So is there anything to stop putting 28 on front and 25 on rear ?

Morning Folks! I have Continental Gatorskin Hardshell 25s tyres on both my BMC and Giant Road bike and I swear by these. As you know, I have recently bought a Bianchi road bike. The tyres on this bike are Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Slick 25s. I was going to fit Continental Gatorskin Hardshell but...

Hardly used Best puncture resistant tyre you can buy £20 the pair posted. SOLD

Watching the TV, it looks like the riders pick much chunkier tyres for today's nasty surfaces.

And wanting a little more comfort. Want to go to 28s, will they fit, do you think? Edit: 23s currently fitted.

I have a road Cycle with 700 x 25C tires. I pump them up to 95 PSI, but after a week with about 50 miles on them the PSI has dropped to about 75 PSI or less. Can someone tell me if this is normal because it happens in both tyres front and back. If it isn't normal then what could be causing this...

So the problem I have is that I need the valves to be 60mm long because of the deep section wheels. I've had 23mm Latex tubes in 25mm tyres with no issues, but going to 28mm might be stretching it a bit if you pardon the pun. Or even if I could find a 25mm latex tube with a very short valve...

OK first recumbent tour this summer to euro velo route from Roscoff towards Nantes. Not far each day because a 5 year old is with us. I don't know the route but believe it's canal paths, riverside routes, old railway lines and minor roads. So I'm expecting tarmac hard packed gravel, a little...

These are two tyres which have been fitted to a pair of wheels and then stored. For several years. The tyres seem OK but there is minor cracking around all the edges which comes with age. They've come off a pair of Specialized Roval's which seem to be from 2010 so they're about 8 years old...

Hi there. I'm just back from a 5 day cycle of the Caledonian Cycle Way (Rothesay to Inverness). I took my BMC Team Machine SLR03 carbon bike. I had fitted this with Continential Grand Prix tyres - size 25. However, during the cycle, I got a puncture in the side wall - we put a temporary...

First time on Vintage section, so "Hello!":hello: What brings me here is that I've just bought a lovey Viscount Aerospace Pro which has the original hubs but mismatched knackered rims and rusty spokes, so the obvious thing is to re-rim them with something nice and new.... in an appropriate...

I'm planning my LEJOG for later this summer, and aiming for a fairly fast pace, spreading it over seven days of actual cycling (plus one or two rest days). I'll therefore be travelling mainly on faster roads. I also have support so will be travelling light. I was going to use Continental 4...

Having just lashed out on some Schwalbe Kojak tyres, I'm just wondering whether the fact they're lighter and have a different tread pattern to the Marathons they'll replace will have any impact on performance, especially given the Brompton is a heavy bike and used for shopping, touring etc.

Prices include postage. Vittoria Rubino Pro G+ folding 700c x 28mm, only 5 miles ridden, unmarked. This is the new Graphene G+ model £14 SOLD Pair of Specialized Roubaix Pro 700 x 30/32, about 150 miles old, couple of small marks on each tyre, but virtually no wear on either tyre. £20...

Hi All, The stock tyres, Continental Sport Contact tyres (700x32c), that came with my bike, a 2014 Genesis Day One Alfine 8, are now worn out and need replacing because the tread is pretty bare and the casing is splitting. For no other reason than I like the look of them I quite fancy a set of...

My brother uses Compass tyres which I've been gently lusting over for ages. Unfortunately, their price has gone from eye-watering to outrageous - the extra supple ones now cost about £70 each if you live in the UK. I've been using Vittoria Voyager Hypers for years but I think they've been...

Needed low rolling resistance new tyres for my other summer cruiser bike, originally dismissed the Voyager Hypers as they were quite expensive and the ones from schwalbe offered more bang for the $. However now came upon these reduced? Vittoria Voyager wired oners The Folding Hypers get...
