Tyres and Tube's

Just ordered 2 x Kenda 700 X 35 HYBRID BICYCLE INNER TUBES PRESTA VALVE which i found cheap to use as a backup incase of punctures. Will do me for now i think. they say they are good for tyres 700 x 35 ,700 x 37, 700 x 38, 700 x 40

Now also ordered 2 x 700x35 Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres which i think will be ok on the wheels i have and the tubes i have ordered.

Now the main question what is the trick to getting these tyres on LOL

Hi all,

Still running on my factory tyres that came with my bike as the new ones have not turned up yet I have just got a new track pump and wanted to know is it best to pump upto max PSI which on the tyre wall states 80psi max on front and back or is it best to use a little less than that.

The back has my repair tube on still and is at 70psi at the min and the front also at 70psi

I go with max on the back and just a little less on the front.

 

[chrisb1357]

So can leave front at 70 PSI and 80 PSI which is max on the back. Will it be ok even that i have repaird the tube on the back as i have not took derlivery of the new tyres and tube yet.

When i took the bike for a little run tonight at 70psi the ride felt completley diffrenet to before i used a track pump. Problem is i seen felt the bumps in the rood LOL

If the repairs held this long then it will be fine,yes you will feel the bumps more time for some padded shorts
Wait til you upgrade to a road bike with 115psi in the tyres,then you'll know about it

Deffinately Marathon+. They are not perfect, but what is. Punctured my back M+ twice last week, first was a piece of broken plastic pipe, same colour as pavement and sharp as a razor. It sliced right throuth the tyre and tube. Two days later, square nail, point sharp as a dart, went through tyre, both sides of tube and was embedded in rim. No glass has got through as of yet.
