Which Tyres?

28mm schwalbe one tubeless tyres ordered to go on pacenti sl25 rims

pacenti sl25

Serious business.

Why the heavier SL25 over the CL25?

best tyre for overall resistance when skidding? read through the all these comments but couldnt really get an idea sorry :/ im currently running two black mambas from blb 700x23c?

Sl25 designed for road tubeless pressures.

Conty gatorskin hardshell.
But they are not really good when is wet.

Anywhere in London that sells Clement Strada? (Looking for 25mm in black/tan)

I have the clearance for bigger, definetly 32, I'd have to measure for larger sizes. But I speced the build for long drop brakes with the rim at the very bottom of the shimano long drop calipers. I need to get a ruler out.

Is there another tyre I should consider at these sizes or should I stick to the clements?

I say stick to the Clements - the 28's come up bigger anyway, and from my own experience there's little I can find wrong with them.

I bought some open pave 27s and they came up much smaller than my 25c gatorskins, so I've returned those and gone with the Challenge Strada Bianca...mmm much comfy, much unnecessary for commuting

Good link. It really shows the advantage of latex. Also how tough Michelins are for a tyre so light. I'd like to have seen them use a Michelin Pro 4 with latex.

If you use butyl tubes then perhaps use the smaller size (marked as 18-23 or similar) rather than the larger versions (sometimes marked 25-28).

The smaller tubes are easier to fit and I never had any issues with them in 28mm tyres or 35mm cross tyres. I suspect (being stretched thinner) they're also faster rolling. Maybe. #marginalgains

Challenge Strada BiancA for the lols.

Pump them up to 120psi, leave it all night then deflate.

It might have to be I cant find the tan wall 120tpi clements instock

thank you ever so much

Tan / black only comes in 60tpi.

Well that's my bonfire pissed on.

Whilst I've been impressed with the all round performance of the vredestein fortezza senso xtremes on my Croix this is somewhat worrying....

Does anyone know a 650b tyre that is similar to these?

Something that is fairly smooth rolling on road and still has some off road grip.

I'm not sure who stocks these but talk to some shops and they might order it in.

Try Mosquito bikes, they order direct from Soma. May be able to help.

Thanks dude, that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

What about the Surly Knard?

Other suggestion is the Panaracer Comet in 27.5 2.0, a reasonably low rolling resistance with great grip for off roading.

Cool thanks Ed.

650c x 23 or 25 clincher? what are my options? I'd rather not have gatorskins if i can help it.
