About this deal

For big tyres, acceleration is brisk and provided you’re erring on higher pressures, they don’t require much effort to keep on the boil either. Gearing and rider fitness play their part but with a range of 29 to 69inches, I was able to cruise at a steady 17mph, with sufficient in the tank to chase down, or socially distance from other riders.

Come and see us! We're on the doorstep of Flyup417 Bike Park, Cranham Woods, Cotswolds Way and an hour away from the Forest of Dean.If you're after tyres that are specifically designed for exercise bike use, you'll also find a selection on Bikester that are fit for purpose. They're designed to be quieter than regular tyres. Furthermore, the rubber compound minimises the risk of overheating and slipping whilst reducing wear. Accessories Here at Bikester, we aren't just bike lovers, we're bike experts. And one of the things we know about is tyres. We bring you the best selection of tyres from all the best makes out there. We know that to achieve outstanding performance your bike needs to be equipped with high-quality tyres. Through suitable tyres, the rider can be guaranteed the balance, speed, traction and safety required for these demanding sports.

Flint removed, tube switched, and small cut filled with super glue-sorted. 400 miles later and yep, another puncture. Similar culprit and similar riding contexts, so well worth giving the casings a periodic purge with Oxford Products Tyre Scrubor similar medium-stiff brush. Otherwise, aside from those small cuts, the tread and sidewalls show little deterioration. The Billy Bonkers are available in Schwalbe's Performance casing, paired with the Addix Performance Compound. This Folding Bead combination provides a universal rubber compound that offers versatility, durability and longevity across a variety of terrains. Alternatively, a Wire Bead variation is available utilising the intermediate K-Guard casing married to the SBC compound (Schwalbe Basic Compound) providing ample performance characteristics at an attractive price point. What is the intended use? Whether you have a city bike, touring bike, road bike, gravel bike or MTB: The tires affect the riding experience like no other bike component. The choice of tire not only determines how well the wheel grips the ground but also influences how easily and comfortably the bike rolls. Ideally, the tire combines such characteristics as maximum grip, high mileage, optimum rolling properties, low weight and reliable resistance to punctures. Sounds technical? The sum of these properties is tangible to every cyclist: as an optimum riding experience. At Schwalbe, we work to continually refine and improve this riding sensation – day in, day out.Schwalbe tyres are rated on a score from 1 to 6 with 1 being entry-level and 6 being pro level. Schwalbe tyres are rated on construction, rolling, road grip, off-road grip, protection and durability. Schwalbe Mountain Bike Tyres Tyre

A fortnight and approximately 200 miles in, I succumbed to our first flat. A very slow hiss that I initially attributed to the tread slicing though puddles and lanes carpeted in dung. Indeed, pressure loss was super pedestrian -I was unaware of it until the next evening, when the lanes were calling.

On top of offering our advice and guidance on the products listed that we personally use, know and have experience with, we understand pricing is a big part of making your decision too.

Jump/freeride tyres might sound an odd choice for “Ursula”, who is essentially a drop bar cross country mountain bike cum four seasons rough stuff tourer. However, converting older, cross country mountain bikes to gravel builds has become quietly trendy. Some transformations are more extreme than others, but all following the drop bars and knobby tyre narrative. Optimised for control and concise braking, many tyres have been endlessly tested by MTB and dirt riders to ensure they're up to the task! Options such as puncture-resistant and puncture-proof tyres can be a wonderful choice if you're fed up with repairing punctures en-route.

Cycling is today considered a progressive form of personal transport that offers nothing but advantages – with one unfortunate exception: the tire puncture. Schwalbe identified this problem at an early stage and has continually set new milestones in matters of puncture protection. For example, Schwalbe offers touring and city tires that can call themselves “flat-less”. For high-performance cycling, our Tubeless Easy Technology combined with tire sealant also sets new benchmarks in preventing punctures. And almost all other Schwalbe tires have an integrated puncture protection belt. Schwalbe tires for the future.Weight and grip are two main concerns when choosing the right road bike tyres. A balance between lightweight tyres that are also extremely grippy on wet and uneven streets is essential for performance. Many modern road and racer tyres have high levels of puncture resistance and strength whilst also keeping your whole set-up agile and light. That being said, this is a racing tire, which means it’s light. But the reliable EXO compound, also used for harsher enduro racing, also means you’ll enjoy this tire for many miles.
