Polo Bikes

There's lots of choice in 26" tyres! More even than 700C. They're just not available in most bike shops... you'd have to ask for them to be ordered in.

Example: Cambridge made me want a good grippy indoor/skate park tyre, lots of choices in 26 cus of jump bikes and street bikes that frequent skate parks... not much in the way of 700C in that area. Also the general profile of the tyre on 700C often means a tall tyre, not as nice for cornering.

I recently went 26" from 700C cus of an incident with a vehicle... I have to say i won't be building another 700 bike for polo. Though for reasons other than tyre choice...

Dude, I am well aware that what is available is not necessarily in bike shops, and that sometimes you can order stuff. What I am not aware of is that there exists a light, grippy tyre in 26", whereas there are heaps in 700c. Heaps.

Please show where all the light grippy 26" tyres are. I want to switch wheel size, but as I said above, I can't find a wide enough range of tyres.

And BTW, if you want a 700c tyre that grips, corners & is light as well as strong, you should be looking at the Vred Fortezza (pref black). A superb tire that you can bang 175 psi into, and is still comfortable.
