Are gran compe tyres rubbish?

speaking of skidding, do anyone know any gumwall tyres that are decent enough (i.e. last a while) for skidding?

randonneur, but you'd want a 22+mm rim

19mm internal diameter, 25 external diameter, will that do it?

thats a standard 700 rim, 32 would be the max, depends on tyres though. increased risk of rolling off.

hmmm I might stick with 32c then

What the hell 80psi?! thats well shit, anything thats equally as good that you would recommend that will take 110-120 psi comfortably?

schwalbe marathons are pretty strong

schwalbe marathon plus are really strong but heavier.

ted is using that 38, but with the charge rims which are wide.

80-90psi is fine on those tyres

Wider tyres will not have the higher pressure rating because they don't need it for their intended use. Just pump them up to 100 psi and they will be fine.

I used to pump up a cheap BMX tyre rated for 40 psi to 90 psi.

What the hell 80psi?! thats well shit, anything thats equally as good that you would recommend that will take 110-120 psi comfortably?

the Randonneur are labelled 85psi but you can pump it up to 120psi easily and end up feeling thinner than they are.

At 120 psi you are more likely to damage your rims due to lack of cushioning unless you are bottoming out regularly I'd leave it at 100 psi max

they are thin as they are designed for a 22mm touring rim

Rims are Rigida sputniks if that helps?

I'm pretty sure I got the measurements right.

they are a touring rim so bigger tyre should be fine.

sweet so for now its a toss up between randonneurs or those schwalbe tyres.....

I might just go randonneurs I guess, good enough for ted.....good enough for me!

Cheers for all the advice Dale :)
