Which Tyres?

Anyone used challenge strada tlr 30 tan wall tyres ? Still searching for a tan wall 30ish good winter tyre.

thats good to know!

It's for my Isen ... I can get 35mm g-ones or Caren suggests getting a 26" wheel. The latter might be out of budget for me.

@TM ... that might be too living on the edge for me.

Jack Brown Mile Muncher?

If they're like the older ones I had, nice tyres, too much trouble to mount to have a second pair.

I use the non tubeless ones through the winter and they’re fab, if a nightmare to mount as mentioned ^.

I had the roubaix ones and ok like a flat piece of liquorice . I fitted them with no problem then blew them off the rim using my track pump. Looking for the tlr now.

Five month review of my Jack Brown Mile Munchers:

Pretty flawless. Obviously this period is summer, but they've done some rather grotty rides while I took my bike to Wales for a week in wind and rain. Two "visitations" - one was a bloody drawing pin which it seems some lovely person bestowed upon me at the top of Ide Hill (or on the way), and a couple of weeks ago the rear seemed to deflate overnight. Couldn't see any likely cause but swapped the tube anyway. I bought the brown sidewalls - the front looks pretty clean still but the rear is quite discoloured. They feel nice to ride, in the rain I have full confidence - they're not slippery at all.

They are displaying some signs of wear, namely a few tiny cuts, but nothing big enough to look like it would cause immediate problems. They've done nearly 6000km. I will attempt to ride this pair into winter, and look at buying another pair the next time they're on sale at Planet X. Highly recommended, especially when they're discounted.

what rims do you have them on? whats the 'real' width?

real width is small, on narrow rims they look like 23mm ( the 25.5mm ones ).

I'm getting rid of a pair of 25.5mm ones, 1500km use

real width is small, on narrow rims they look like 23mm ( the 25.5mm ones ).

pls tell me your rim width /no-euph

very narrow, easton ea50 ( 19mm external ! ). track wheelset

they're on a set of dt swiss er1400 wheels (think the rims are 20mm wide internal) and the tyres measure very true to size, 30mm.

Yup the 25.5 version defo come up nowhere near. I measured 24mm or a road rim (don't know anything about widths, soz).

ah so you werent talking about the 25.5 version, fair. I have TIGHT clearances on my flyer for which I have purchased these. The current GP 4 seasons just about fit. Kinlin ADHN.

ah, no, soz

great review though; inspires confidence in me when I go on the voyage of de-tubeless-ing road tyres in 2021.

Next bike is getting Kojak like its 2013!

Vittoria Corsa G+....managed not one but 2 punctures on a 15km commute in yesterday both front and rear, 3 miles apart....very wet and late for a meeting. A bird also shat on my me, but hey things happen in 3’s right?

Time to put the Conti’s back on...

Went the non-winter tyre route in the end, a pair of 28c Gp5000 TLs.

Wow, they're a bitch to get on! Had to resort to a zip tie holding one side in place.

good to know, seems that thes gp5000 are tight.
I just set-up a pro-one 25mm on a reynolds carbon rim, the mounting was easy-ish ( still needed levers but thats down to the rim itself i think.

You used levers to mount a tyre? 🤦 on a carbon rim? double 🤦

Before I stick a classifieds post up I'm going to be selling 4 x 28c Turbo Cotton tyres. They're in great condition and have seen around 150km so barely used. I'd be selling them in pairs for £75. If anyone is interested drop me a pm. I'll be listing then in the classifieds on Monday if no one takes them before then.

If you want gumwalls, maybe try velolfex.

I had the same issue with corsa G, the colour was meh but as you I had so many punctures in a week that i decided to throw them in the bin striaght away.

Hi all!
Any recommendations on antipuncture tires that are not crazy slippery for wet weather riding in the city?
The thickslick on the rear wheel of my fixedgear is increadibly slippery so I am looking for some thick 700 32-35c tires for tricks and bike deliveries.

Thanks to anybody that helps.
