Which Tyres?

Pro One not looking like cutting it for TCR use according to this dude.

Have you considered/ruled-out IRC RBCC?

They're the mid-point (sweetspot?) in the Formula range: Pro Light being racier and Pro X-guard having more puncture protection.

Some details that stand out to me:

• wider tread that doesn't leave the sidewall exposed on wide rims;
  
• true to size on wide rims;
  
• latex lining makes them repairable with internal patches (should reduce air loss too).
  
  

I specced some for the Isen I'm building, so should have IRL feedback in due course, but very durable according to Malcolm.

Yes/No

That tubeless conversion I did has not turned a single kilometre since the frame went bye bye so I still have two brand new Pro Ones to wear out before I change anything.

frame went bye bye

u wot m8?

Hunt down some Hutchinson Sector 28s.

Had no end of trouble with my Sector 28s - punctured regularly and generally not impressive

so, tyres for winter fixed? currently using Vittoria Zaffira - most of commute is leaf mulch path just now, getting sketchy with lower temps

Maxxis Re-fuse at discounted price atm

First impressions of Vittoria Hypers is good. The profile seems to promote more stability than the Kojaks. Felt grippier in general. Although technically heavier, they don't feel it.

@amey ta muchly

Vittoria Hypers

I'll have a pair in 38c going cheap soon.

I run michelin pro4 endurance year round, no problem.

Ta will check theseses

Contemplating going up to 28c from 25c on my pre cursa: for general road riding I reckon this is pretty sensible - anyone moved up and felt more sluggish as a result?

i'm on 32 and feeling great tbh.

Do it. I'm on 35mm on my commuter and 25mm on my road bike and, although the commuter weighs about twice as much overall, if it's flat, it's just as fast at the same effort, corners better and is more comfortable/smoother. I'm going to take my road bike up to 28mm if they will fit.

What tyres are you using? Are you already using folding?

Going from GP4000s in 25mm which just punctured all the fucking time to Schalwbe durano wired. Obviously the durano will be heavier but I've been riding marathon plus in the meantime and they weigh more than the bike!

I've gone 25c to 42c and can only just notice the difference. Just as quick getting to work though. You won't notice 3mm

This is glorious reading. Welcome to a new world. Get wide rims too for allll of the comfort.

Which tyres for a Pompino, with silly narrow track rims, for mainly on road but occasional muddy bridleway use? Is there such a thing?

Schwalbe Pro-1s not inspiring confidence in the wet this morning.

Are G-Ones any better?

What size you running?

25.

G-Ones will be for a different bike (Isen) so will be aiming for 30. However, if they are gonna be super slidy in the wet, I will need to look at other tyre options.

I really like the Pro-Ones in the dry, so once I have the Isen built up, I won't need to ride the other bike in the wet so much.
