I have been trying to find some tyres that are going to look good on my vintage Colnago and stop me getting punctures riding in London. Ideally gumwalls, any solutions!

Pasela, have kevlar which is good and you can exceed the pressure guides with confidence.

Bontraeger race all weathers have thicker sidewalls than gatorskins and are also cheaper; that being said they do say bontraeger in white on an all black tyre...

I like the armadillos as well

+1 for the Panasonic Pasela TourGuard. Have them on my vintage Bianchi. Just rode to Paris on them and didn't have a p*ncture

I have gumwall Panaracers, have had no puncture problems on the london streets, even took them up the tow paths to Windsor without any problems.

however, I am lead to believe that they are not as good looking as the Veloflex Paves.

This gumwall discussion might be of interest, it was revived recently - https://www.lfgss.com/thread13804.html

Veloflex Master and/or Pave = WIN

I absolutely love Veloflex, but I couldn't really recommend them as a London tyre - they're more of a lazy man's tub.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
