maxxis refuse? ive been running one on the front for about 2 years now and i have never ever had a puncture. really grippy too, which is great for the front but not so much on the rear if you're a fixie skidder

i run a specialized mondo on the rear, and sometimes a roubaix armadillo elite if i have the cash. also neither of those have had punctures until skidded though. other people dont seem to have much luck with them tho

I have had a shitload of punctures with re-fuse tyres, and one with a manufactring fault that left a weak spot in the sidewall causing tubes to blow when they got past 100 psi.

Panaracer Pasela Tourguard all the way.

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
