If that is your black Hallett... Are the wheels 650s and what size are those tyres?

I have (700) 25C on the bike that I have left at my sister's house in Devon but am thinking of putting much bigger tyres on, though probably not THAT big! Maybe 33C. Some of the lanes I was riding on were rough so I wanted more comfort from the tyres but I didn't dare lower the pressures much for fear of snakebite punctures.

650B and 38mm. They're tubeless and I run them at 50psi. They roll pretty much as fast as your average road bike.
The Blue Hallett is also tubeless, 25mm. I run those at 70/80psi. Initially they were at 60/70, but having damaged a sidewall in a jagged pothole I upped the pressure. They're still markedly more comfortable than tubes in similar tyres run at 80/90psi.

I know a couple of people who ride tubeless and swear by them. Maybe if I bought a new bike I'd give them a go but for my old bikes I'll stick with tubes.

I just checked - the Mavic Aksiums on my Devon bike are rated up to 32mm tyres so that's probably what I will buy to fit when I come down in the spring.

This is from last year. I sat here and ate my packed lunch during my first, and so far only, 100 mile ride.

Beautiful pics all, really enjoy this thread. Good to see so many mudguards too!

My bike is behind as I wanted the plaque to be visible
