Which Tyres?

no swearing then - in the corner with a D hat for you.

silasmellor i've got a conti race something or other, light, has a big skid patch on one end, but its not skidded all the way through... you can have that if you want.
that would be most kind of you sir i just need a usuable tyre at the moment i have an old town bike wheel when i have a brand new(ish) racing wheel at my mates house just need to repair an innertube and get a tyre and ill be away

tynan [quote]Ratboy yeh i definitely abbreviate far to often but this is due to an extreme case of laziness and i will do my best to use the most eloquent phraseology at my disposal if it please you sir

Hell yeah, let's have some fucking class around here.

i've got an armadillo that's skidded thru to the red bit, you can have it.

the last one i had almost had a ring of thread showing through and i still haven't had a puncture.

for cheap tyres in black, goto cyclebasket.com they do vittoria zaffiro's for 4.80 each. p&p 6quid though. but you can get 12 of them in one go should last you about a year?

Ahhh... and I thought this thread was going to be about 'Tyres' from Spaced:

I do not recommend Armadillos - I used 700x25s for nine months for my 100-mile/week commute and I had a puncture every other week. And I find them sluggish. So, I'd say they are all pain no gain

Have switched to Michelin Lithion 700x23s which are an instant hit with me for speed. But will have to wait and see how they do in the puncture department...

i recommend specialized armadillos.

don't use blizzard sports if you skid...I've gone through mine in less then 2 weeks.
if you don't skid they are the shizzle...and cheap.

my stelvios have last through 3 bikes.. highly rec.

zaffaros all white.

thoroughly agreed, they're rubbish when skidding, mine lasted all of 6 days. also the rubinos are no fun, wear out quick and slip like hell in the wet.

I run 130 psi in my Tofu s33's

Schwalbe Ultremo 2 months now @ 150 miles/week = one puncture due to evil metal splinter, just laughs at glass. For the wieght of them very impressed though no skidding.
