New Bike New Rubber...?
Re: New Bike New Rubber...?
Life's too short, never mind just wearing out your current compromise tyres, bin them and buy the best, GP5000! 
Re: New Bike New Rubber...?
If you don't want punctures try Schwalbe Duranos. Not the fastest tyre on the road but comfy and practically bomb-proof.
Have we got time for another cuppa?

Ageed ..except Schwalbe have stopped making Duranos. My new go to tyre is the Durano replacement Schwalbe One folding bead. It's pretty much identical to the old Durano. A size 700x25c weighs about 250g.

Neither of those are the good old plain folding bead Durano. The Durano DD is heavy and a bit wooden riding.Jdsk wrote: ↑1 Apr 2024, 11:24amThere's a Durano Plus and a Durano DD on the website:Cyclothesist wrote: ↑1 Apr 2024, 10:48amAgeed ..except Schwalbe have stopped making Duranos.

I was hoping it was all an April Fool. Still, bike24.net have them at 27,22€ and I have a couple in stock.
