Which Tyres?

Nice to know that me ‘feeling’ they were pretty good wasnt just my imagination!

They look good, although nobody seems to have them in 42c. :-(

These are THE 26er runaround tyre IMO

High five! 🙌

no, Marathon Supreme (folding) only

42c in stock here it seems?

Thanks, ordered a set 👍

I’ll have to try them one day.

I'm looking for a replacement for Schwalbe G One Speed 29*2.3

The usage will be commuting mostly.

I want slick or nearly slick, tubeless ready and approximately 29*2.1-2.2 size, with a little more puncture resistance than the schwalbe g one speed.

Any recommendations?

Nvm, misread sorry :)

No answers, so let me rephrase my question to see if that helps.

My partner's bike is a Surly ECR, set up with schwalbe g one tyres (29 X 2.3) and suitably wide mudguards.

The tyres are set up tubeless. Maintenance falls to me and I find tubeless is a pain. The commute is short so in reality a puncture is solved by walking to work instead.

New tyres are needed. Is there anything in 29*2 (approx) that is tubeless and with decent puncture protection?

Otherwise, what clincher in 29*2 approx that has decent puncture resistance and doesn't ride like crap?

Now my original answer is relevant, conti contact urban!

I posted the link to the RR test at the top of the page. And will concur that they ride nicely.

Nice, thank you!

Big fan of the Contact Speed, not sure if they still make it though.

How about G-One Speed in 2.0”, they have a V-guard puncture protection which the 2.3” Speeds don’t have.

A question to other Vittoria/GEAX Booze Light tire users:
Both of my tires (26x2.3) have a bit of a wobble, one is worse and "deflects" around 3-5 mm side to side.

Have you noticed something similar with your tires? Or have they all been flawless without much of a wobble?

700x50 (2.0) tyres for tandem touring, backroads and some light doubletrack, tubes not tubeless.

do I want:
Schwalbe Big Ben
Schwalbe Marathon Almotion Evo
Schwalbe Super Moto
Schwalbe G-One Speed (my god these are ££ and maybe not great with tubes)

I have some Conti Contact Urbans on order but not sure they'll arrive soon enough :(

Almotions I'd say from that list.

The contact urbans are great btw. Recently put some on.

the main issue with the OG 5k tyre was the super stiff casing making them horrible to mount and harsh/stiff feeling to ride. The new ones feel super soft, grippy, plush and very fast to ride

Thanks, that sounds good. I had some mounting struggles with the originals and ruled them out. I've just ordered some of the new ones to see if I can get them on easily enough to use.

Schwalbe Marathon Almotion Evo

These are supposed to be very good.

The 700x40C Almotions were excellent on my partner’s Tripster.

What’s be option for 32/33c cx’ish not running tubeless so has some half decent puncture protection? Looking at Vitoria terrano mix?

Have you checked they beaded properly? Giveaway is sidewalk even to rim all way round.

Terreno Mix are flipping great but I have only ever seen them run tubeless.

Just got a set of wheels off Ebay and the previous owner has left the tyres on, a pair of Wolfpack Race Cottons. Just googled them as I hadn't heard of them and apparently they don't make them anymore as there were problems with the tread coming away from the casing. The ones I have seem ok, so I'll ride them to see how they are. Anyone else have experience with them? Are they sure death?!
