Yeah me neither. This tyre has replaced a G One Speed, so I was expecting the same kind of easy ride I had from that. No such luck. Hunt rims and tape.
I lost patience in the end and stuck a tube in there, I’d rather ride my bike than argue with a tyre.
Fair enough. Was the tyre more supple than the one you took off? Fitting GKs was tricky because the tyres are so limp, they're hard to get a seal all around to lock the bead. What was the issue with them - no bead lock? Do you have a blaster pump or inflator of some sort?
I've not had issues with Schwalbe going TL (they've been some of the easiest to install). What rim and tape combo are you fitting to?
