Which Tyres?

Ah, it would appear you don't have to have the green stripe of courage to ride with Pave. Cheers @andyp.

@jontea MMMM, love new tyre day.

Aye, me too. Haven't got a spare tube now, one exploded while fitting. It was the shitty rim tape that came with the wheels. Replaced it with a few layers of electrical tape, job done. Off for maiden voyage this afternoon.

I need some new 25mm gum walls that actually come up at 25mm for my Reynolds carbon clinchers

Suggestions? I had to run 23mm vittorias open corsa SC otherwise they rub my left chainstay very slightly

Veloflex Master?

I suggest you get some decent rim tape because otherwise you'll be pissed when you try to get that electrical tape off in a few months.

New rim tape ordered, will fit next time I need to take a tyre off.

Tubless tyres.

Talk to me.

Saw a review of schwabble one? That had really low rolling resistance.

I doubt I'll move from open pave. But you know, seeing the options.

Latex tubes and open paves is sublime.

Also been thinking about moving to the darkside and using 4000s ii.

Pro One. Very light, very quick, no punctures because tubeless.

Yeah interesting for sure.
Anyone know what the longevity in milage is on them?

I'm also looking about best options to try road tubeless, I've been advised to avoid all hutchinson's :D

How do the 27mm open paves measure up (and on what rim)? I'm trying to decide if I can fit them or not. Probably height matters more than width, but both are interesting.

Not massive, they're racing tyres.

26.5mm wide on 23mm rims, not sure about height. Probably stretch out a little to come up true to size.

They're not big, my 28mm gravel kings took up nearly all the room I had on the fork, quite a bit to spare with the open pave 27 mm. Have a look at my cp thread, pic of op on my Giant Defy.

Yeah. Intersting. Need to get some and try them out.

Hmmmm, Open Paves not upto Cheshire roads. Bit of gravel/tarmac straight through. Gravel kings back on until I have time to seal the hole in the rear o/p. Bugger, was enjoying that ride home.

bike24 has them cheapest.

Got my second pinch flat in few months, killed two tyre levers to no avail. S-Ones will be in as soon as tape and gloop arrive, currently stretching in spare wheelset. If anyone wants a pair of Conti Grand Prix race in 28mm drop me a Pm. Great tyres, just shit to fit into my rims

I run a disc in the rear with tubs and a regular wheel in the front with clinchers.

I've decided to go gumwalls/tanwalls and stick to a 25mm-ish if possible.

I've seen so many mixed reviews of Vittoria Rally tubulars. Some people hate them, some say they are a decent training tubular. Should I stay away? It seems the Rally's are the only inexpensive 25mm gumwall choice. The other option is the Conti Giro in a 23mm. Anything else I'm missing?

Now is there is an inexpensive equivalent in a clincher for my front? Again...25mm and gum/tan wall. Seems the cheapest is the Vittoria Corsa G for around $50 from Ribbles.

Last question...is the tan stripe colour on the Vittoria Rally tubular the same tan as on the Vittoria Corsa? The Corsa's look almost white-ish tan in pics.

This is just a street bike and I'm not about spending 100s on tires.
Thanks

Don't ride a disc on the street then

I rode tubs for years (many years ago) and usually do run nicer tires. Just need something cheap for right now.

Clement Strada LGG?
