Which Tyres?

How about some 35c semi-cyclocross tyres with excellent puncture resistance? I'm getting at least one a week with Schwalble sammy slicks...

Where are they being ridden? You sure it's not tyre pressure/rim width?

Ive had about 10 in the last 3 weeks - need to replace the cheap tyres/tubes Ive had on since xmas.
Not sure about CS stuff - just had a look and theyre pretty expensive.
Need near-slick for rolling-happiness.

Not sure if i've said but the rivendel jack browns (33.3333333333c) are also awesome and I couldn't fault them

had a few more punctures on 4seasons.
this morning I had enough, removed the rear one and fitted old durano. fuck cuntinental.

Ha, I had a tube blow out in Majorca after mechanic insisted on using the compressor after I said no no no I'll use the track pump... it was a fucking Conti. #caseclosed

HTFU. Cavendish was world champ on a punctured Continental.

Maybe, but if he'd listened to hippy, he'd never have got a puncture in the first place.

"Punctured Continental" says it all.

Which begs the question, what the fuck was it doing on your bike in the first place?

Does anyone have any experience with how 23c Re-fuse measure up compared to 23c Gators?

London's shitty roads + the odd gravel/mud track. Keep the pressure up for road use but what effect does rim width have?

Not sure though I've been gifted a few tubes before.

If I flat on the way to work I tend to grab a Specialized tube as backup because that's what the shops here stock.

Narrow rim + low pressure = increased risk of pinch flat
Wide rim + low pressure = reduced risk of pinch flat

Larger tread in contact with the Erf

Narrow rim + low pressure = increased risk of pinch flat = going somewhere fast
Wide rim + low pressure = reduced risk of pinch flat = going nowhere

wuuuut

lol goonz pls. You haven't ridden a bike other than commuting since the summer.

Narrow rim + low pressure = increased risk of pinch flat
Wide rim + low pressure = reduced risk of pinch flat

Ah ok well the rims are 14mm, from what I can gather and the tyre is 35c and kept ~70psi (tyre specifies 80 max).

Look like someone like it slow.

Bought a cheap Claud butler* tyre from ebay for skidding through. 7 quid.
The damn thing is so stiff I nearly broke my tyre levers and fingers trying to get it on, managed eventually, pinched the tube, puncture, can't get the damn thing off to swap it.
Learnt my lesson.

*Probably some Taiwanese crap branded

The roads were so bad in Kent on Sunday that I was not surprised to have a puncture a few miles after Kidds Hill. I dismounted at a nice sunny bit of gras at the side of the road to change tubes. No puncture, must have been all the cake from the food stop. Four Seasons rule.

Just ordered a pair of rubino pro tech, fed up of sliding in the wet with the gators on, pbk doin em for £23. Here's hoping that they have decent puncture resistance.

Conti 4 seasons come in 28mm. I'd bet money on them not being though.

Come in more like 26

Yes, that yre does not look like 28cm.
