Which Tyres?

What's the cheapest file thread GKs you've seen (in gumwall)?

I bought some paselas in the end cause Planet X had a sale and a pair came in at £40. But I still haven't fitted them (indecision!)

£25.26 from Winstanley, but the shop can be hit and miss, but you can probably get Wiggle to price match them.

the 32c's are 30-something though!

Evans is 29.99 per tyre. (but they don't have the file tread in stock -- just the SK)

CRC doesn't have the gumwall...

I'll be getting mine from Winstanleys but I'm getting black 28c.
I've found google images turns up cheap prices sometimes

May or may not be the right thread to ask in but can anyone recommend a black standard drop calliper to clear 35c tyres?
Shimano or sram ideally.

You'll need a long reach caliper eg Tektro R559, Shimano R650 or TRP RG957

Thanks dude.

They look great, just tried to find them for sale with no luck though...

They were announced on the Ritchey Instagram page a few days ago, so should be available soon - https://www.instagram.com/p/BX391UyFJ3s/?taken-by=ritcheylogic

@TM Being commuting on Schwalbe Durano Plus since september 2007 without any problem. Still running the same pair; average of 60 miles a week.

Ordered 35c marathon supremes in the end. Ribmos have served me well commuting and touring wise - see if these are any better.

Cool

Looking for some good gumwalls for london city commuting... wheelsize is 26 x 1 3/8" (650A? -- i know nothing about this wheel size)

It's an old raleigh road bike so clearance isn't massive -- probably can fit the equivalent of 700x28c (tyre math boggles my mind).

Have put over 2000m on a set of Kojaks and got the first puncture today.

What's the rule about internal rim width and max tyre width?

Internet is being confusing.

ask @umop3pisdn he lives on the edge

as someone who makes charts/tables for a living this one is organised stupidly and verges on unreadable....

I'm the other way around I expect - skinny tyres on fat rims.

What's the rule about internal rim width and max tyre width?

Don't lean?

This is Tstr's table, which is a modified version of Sheldon Brown's (RIP in peas).

Now that's a chart!

Good ol Sheldon.

what do you define as "odd bit of off road"?

28mm clincher that falls between a GP4000SII and a Gatorskin, in terms of grip and puncture proofness? 4 Season?

Just go 4000s, as @umop3pisdn once said, life's too short for shit tyres.
