@meths
this is my first ever post on here, so be gentle with me. and please dont use too much jargon, I'm no pro cyclist.
ok, so, I need to buy some new tyres (700x23) for my bike. Evans tried to sell me some Armadillos...twice...but I'm pretty sure I dont want them. At the moment I've got some Hutchinson somethings on there. They are pretty worn, warped and frayed, but they seem to look better than whatever these Armadillo things are. So, I'm looking for some tyres that:
are puncture proof
wont slow me down
cost around £20-£30 (although really I have no idea what I should be paying)???
dont look rubbish
Should I be sacking off Evans full stop? I dont like the people in any of their shops but I do have a £50 voucher. Is it worth going to my nice local bike shops to get some better service? Or are these Armadillos the way forward?
please help.
