Which Tyres?

Hmmm... maybe I'll go black. There's still the subtle red panel logo to match the frame. ;) Will 25c give me a better ride than 23c (on Kent's country roads) on a pair of Ambrosio Excellight?

They will.

Matching tyres to frames >>>>>>>>>

I thought they were the same, apart from the gumwall?

Seems I'm talking bullshit (I've read some reviews that indicated more durable and the extra 30 gram) - but Vittorias homepage is stating the opposite, that SC has more mileage than CX.

I did have to check myself once when I was in danger of wearing full-on Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome jersey, socks and water bottle. I know these things can go too far.

Well I decided to take @amey advice and give a shot with the schwalbe one tyres 25mm, got them by price matching at evans for £21.95 each! The guy at the till was too please with the sale ;)

@amey is on Schwalbe One? Any of you guys tubeless?

@Sumo I think

I've got a huge cut right through a maxxis refuse 25c with the tube coming through the other side! Anyone experienced anything like this with them? Can't see how it would happen apart from manufacturing fault or possibly even sabotage.

Anyway, any other recommendations for a fast puncture proof commuter tyre? Really like the refuse up till this happened.

@Sumo is Ultremo tubeless; I was One clincher 25mm they were good tyres .. just develop cuts faster than usual. Good race tyre.

Best summer gumwalls? 23mm.
Open corsa sc?

Yeah, but in 25c. Race tyre, so don't expect huge durability. I tend to get an extended summer out of a pair.

but in 25c

Flo30s so 23 is more arro on wide rimz.

but a bigger risk of damaging your rims.

Put 25mm on it, feel exactly like a 23mm but with significantly more comfort and grip.

You're only using 30mm deep rims, there's not going to be a significant affect, even on a TT bike. If it's a road bike then 100% go for 25c

Just picked two Schwalbe One 25 off the shelf at bikediscount for €31.95 "let's go tubeless." Then went over to the sealant, valve etc. section where I lost my nerve looking at prices and faffing. Returned the Schwalbe Ones on the shelf and bought two GP4000 25 at €34.95 each and an inner tube for €3.40.

Currently any good alternative to Paselas or Schwalbes for 26" tyres around 2.0?

matching tyre headache.
anyone know where i can get this version of the durano plus?

25c

Not seen that before, I'll check at work as we have some Durano Plus hanging up.

:)

How are the Durano plus, good for commuting?

good but heavy and a harsh ride, I find that normal durano's are fine for commuting, managed to get 8 months out of pair with no punctures 30miles a day 5 days a week
