Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[Blue Hills]

I have fitted some SKS ones on my Hybrid so know all too well how much of a faff it is, but well worth the warning.

Yep, allow several hours, don't rush it. Once fitted you can pretty much forget about them and just ride.

Probably not a pre pandemic level bargain, but seems reasonable for the spec given supply issues and prices at the moment.

Good spot - have never understood the advantage of folding tyres unless you are heading out to ultra ultra remote places touring loaded and want to carry a spare with you. And very few folk do that.

They’re lighter I think
Just fitted the folding version to the Ti, very smooth over the rough roads round here and no noticeable loss of speed at least in the burbs

They’re lighter I think

fair enough - but lightness matters not a jot to me. i just hope that the lightness has been achieved by savings on the wiring, not the "rubber" and anti-puncture layer. I do have some Vittoria folders on one bike (basically because they were cheap from planetx from the pre-plague days) but they do puncture quite easily.

No point spending £££ on a lighter bike and then sticking heavier than necessary tyres on everything else being equal

I agree unless it’s winter.

As far as I know the spec of the tyres is the same (or better). I’ve not compared

 

[Mike_P]

IME folders are simpler to fit especially on narrower rims where you are using a wider tyre than possibly the rim was ideally designed for - an issue that can come into play with inner tubes where the lower range up to the size of the tyre fir easilly but a wider range upto a far wider tyre are a complete pain verging on becoming impossible to fit.
