  • Don't you find durano plus to be incredibly dead tyres? I know winter/fixed/brakeless aspects involve many trade-offs, but although the ride is grippy and puncture proof, it does feel pretty lifeless. I've used them for the last year but I need to find something with similar grip but better feel...not so bothered about punctures.

  • Pave then. I'd rather have a tyre that feels nice and makes me want to ride me ride my bike than some tractor tyre that'll never puncture.

    That said I'm blessed with relatively few p*nct*r*s. Regularly checking my tyres for flints probably helps.

  • PavĂ© for sure. As an experiment (sad life) I have been running what I thought to be a worn out pave on the rear of my fixed. 6 weeks of commuting through london every day and it's still going with no issues. The centre does feel very thin now so I'm sure it's about to go.

    If I'm on my bike I want to enjoy riding it as currently commuting is about all I get done!

    And a +1 for Gravel kings too, the other wheelset has those in 28mm and they're excellent.

  • Your tyre choice puts you off cycling? Have you considered swimming?

    I have a mudguard. I don't want to fanny about inspecting tyres every bloody night just to make sure I get to work on time. Pave for commuting is an extravagance.
