Which Tyres?

:)

The 32c gravel kings change to a squared off knobbly pattern that is not meant to be great.

Marathon Supreme in 32mm.

Cheers @edscoble they look like a pretty good all rounder for everyday use. However, the cheapest one I've found for this is around £33 for one.

I'm actually thinking downsizing to a 28mm.

So far deciding to go for your Marathon Supreme, @TRA Gravel Kings or @amey Schwable one.

I'm actually thinking downsizing to a 28mm.

I'm actually thinking downsizing to a 28mm.

Basically the typical max tyres size for road bicycle.

You got the clearance, used it!

I guess internet pressure works at times.

Found a pair on ebay for £26 at 32mm, @edscoble I trust in interweb skills on this!

@HoKe - good nights sleep then?

I've had better :p

just burst POS mavic tyres in Sussex; on train back home .. I can see that Michelin pro 4 25c are mega cheap in decathlon near me; any good? I'll see if they have the endurance version ..

I've never used them for purely irrational reasons, but most of my club used to swear by them.

Jess got a pair of them a month ago, one of them has just had the bead poke through the rubber and cause a pinch flat. Not sure if manufacturing fault or just shit tyre.

Yeah they are.

think I'll give them a go .. esp at £32.99 for a pair .. they also have some Hutchinson tyres on discount

I've had Pro3/4 Service/Race/Endurance and they're all good. Maybe 2x punctures between them in all conditions over 5,000 miles? (<<<Massively vague estimate.) I think they roll well and don't cut too easily. The Endurance seem to be a little slippy in the wet... harder rubber compound??

Maybe should be in non ebay/craigslist finds but on the topic of pro 4s, decathlon are doing a pair of 25mm pro 4 SCs (which come up big) for £33.

ah didnt see Amey's post above.

Pro 4 is a very good tyres, go for it.

Got em; they didn't have the 2014 bundle so they price matched 2015 pair .. so light!

Any weight limit for 23mm Schwalbe Ones?
mespilus jr. got a pnctr on the way home from the Hillingdon track.
Almost inevitable, given the seldom swept inner yard ofHillingdon roads.
He had packed his cycling rucksack, but omitted an inner tube, so, as we were only about 1.5 miles from home, I told him to phone Mrs. mespilus and let her know we would be back a little later than expected. We walked home.
We get home mrs mespilus, (who has never ridden a bike in her life), has a hissy fit, complaining I should have collected him by car. The 6 or so mile journey is 45 minutes quicker by bike than car, on a Saturday lunchtime, so thats not happening again.
We, (I), have spare inner tubes at home in stock from a bulk buy from ITS.
Saturday pm passes with no-one even looking at his bike, as does Sunday.
Monday evening, I can the sounds of engineering incompetence from the garden. A combination of the mrs & jr. and the cheap Aldi/Lidl bike stand are not getting the newly shod rear wheel into the frame.
I show how the brake calipers can be released, to allow the new Durano Plus tyres in.
jr. rides up & down the road a bit to ensure the brake blocks are still aligned and the gears can be smoothly accessed.
The previous Schwalbe Ones are just left in the garden! Barely used, 6 Saturday morning sessions at the Hillingdon track and no more than another 100 road miles.
So, not yet down to my target weight, (but down from 15 1/2 stone to 14 in 10 months), so 89 kgs OK for 23mm Schwalbe Ones?

No. Yeh.

Got a tl/dr version of that?

Slightly less overweight old man unexpectedly receives pair of slightly worn 23mm Schwalbe Ones. Will 89kg of rider result in fiery/explosive death?

Thank you,
for both your answers,
and,
your perseverance!
