  • Yo,
    Just wondering who makes for a reasonable price, those tyres with a gum or tan coloured strip round the edge?

    for example the ones on this bike - http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/6636/dsc09753li0.jpg

  • Veloflex rock. wiganwill will be along shortly to lax lyrical about quite how good they are.

  • Oof, forgot that id have to shell out about 40 quid on tyres, may have to wait a while untill i get my bike up and running!

  • continental GP4000 brownwall

  • panaracer pasela tour guard

    sooo much grip

    available 700 x 25c from wiggle i do believe

    edit: out of stock

  • continental GP4000 brownwall

    Work well, look good!

  • Loads of places have Pasela Panaracers: Condor, Bicycle workshop, sjs, spacycles all stock them. Just put a new pair on last night.

    Never tried the Conti brown ones but they look fantastic.

  • I have some NOS michelin HiLite tyres for sale.

    They look very similar to the Veloflex, a quality folding race tyre.

    I have a pair of 700x23 with ridged tread pattern.

    And one 700x19 totally slick

    Both types extremely lightweight. Can get you pictures if at all interested.

  • ProRace3 in "Ivory"

  • Veloflex rock. wiganwill will be along shortly to lax lyrical about quite how good they are.

    And here I am;

    Veloflex! Veloflex!
    Riding them is better than sex
    They look ace
    and they're nice and grippy
    much better than those
    recommended by Hippy

  • I'd rep you for that Will but it seems I need to share the love before I can rep you again!

  • rep provided. LOL

  • How is it now in 2011?
    I still find the Veloflex to be goodlooking (classic).
    What about Schwalbe Milano?

  • Vittoria Open Corsa CX. Top class.

  • I love Panaracer Paselas.

  • Vittoria Open Corsa CX. Top class.

    ^tough to find at all in UK in the gumwall but the Open Corsa Evo SC is available widely though

  • Its a shame velofelx switched up the branding, looked so much better before.
    Deda RS and Challenge Crits are nice too.

    Fitted a week ago, not tested much yet. I think they'll shred to pieces if I skid them, 15sovs a pair is a straight up bargin though. Hard as nails and surprisingly grippy.

  • michelin pro race 3 in ivory still top choice for new 'classic' looking tyres. pick them up for under £20 each too

  • I have a bunch of classic tyres...though they aren't cheap, if you are restoringh something and want some perfect tyres from 1982, then shout me.

  • 20c ?

  • Yeah I know. They're a horrible ride, nippy but every surface in London feels like a quarry. Bought them for the tweed run to match my bike. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

  • These!

  • was the 20c for me?
