• Maxxis Padrone didn't last two days of South Downs and Surrey Hills; had to put an inner tube in for the last 40k due to multiple leaks.

    Apart from that, seems like a nice tyre.

  • What happened was it got a puncture that was slowly losing air. It was small so I thought it might seal up eventually.

    I carried on riding and topping up air pressure from time to time but I think I must have ridden it on too low pressure as it started losing air quicky; that's when I noticed that air was coming through the sidewall.

    When I took the tyre off to put a tube in, there was lots of sealant inside but it had gone into a gooey sludge which was stuck to the tyre. Only a week old.
