  • Kind of agree - with that in mind I used to use Schwalbe Lugano as they felt good, were cheap & particularly easy to get on/off the rim. I now use Schwalbe Durano Plus on fixed which ride pretty well, quite puncture resistant (tempting fate here & expect a visit from the puncture fairies soon) & only a bit of a struggle to get on!
    NB. i use Pick-Up's on my cargo bike

    NBB. Perhaps someone who knows more about this than I should start a thread on how easy/difficult some rims are for tyre change

  • Ha! a few years ago I got so pissed off with a spate of punctures that I looked into solid tyres... however being the cheapscate I am, instead of spending big on Tannus I bought cheap chinese imports...
    OMG, I rode about 5 yards up my street & gave up. The rolling resistance - it felt like my brakes were jambed on. Had to use a jack-saw to get the buggers off!

    also, a long time ago but I recall @dicki mentioning that he never used cycling shorts even on 100mile rides ... so narrow tyres are not an issue if you have a concrete bottom

  • I would suggest the only guaranteed method to avoid p*nct*ring is to walk.

  • Direct mount turbo.

    Nike Air soles can puncture.

  • Currently on 32mm paselas wire bead version, very few punctures and ride is nice.

  • Rocking some Gravelking SK in35mm (the semi slick ones) tubeless and I've never had a tyre go down to the point where i couldn't get home. Silca sealant (with the carbon bits in it) is brilliant.

    I have come back to my bike the next morning with a tyre gone down from a bit of glass but that is usually sorted by just picking the glass out and pumping the tyre up

  • 4 pages? So much merge potential.
