Repop tyre quandary
dinglem:
They are supposed to be run at 80-115psi for minimum rolling resistance. The yare also supposed to be puncture resistant also. From what I gathered all of the holes in the inner tubes (which were all pin-sized) appeared to be around the sides so I am guessing you could be correct regarding the rim/pinching issues. Perhaps i'm too much of a lump and when I hit the odd pothole (which I inevitably did) I pinched the inner tube to the rim momentarily.
I will know better for next year anyway.
Mainly I am just looking for something that looks the part but won't explode for these next couple of builds. Neither will be running skinnies either you will be pleased to hear ;)
Thanks for the comments so far lads :daumenhoch:

i run re issue Tioga comp 3's on my mcs for rides and track use , 20x1.75 skin walls, run em at 70-80 psi never had an issue with em or a flat either, but i may just be lucky, now, the fat collectors turn their noses up when seeing they are re issue, but......... they look the part, are cheap , not crispy, thin as fook and perforated all over and cost £300 a pair , non starter really , can't enjoy a roll around when yer worrying your tires will explode or are to expensive to do a skid on :LolLolLolLol: which as we all know is the best thing in world ever, low down one footed going sideways :daumenhoch:

Take your pick there's a few to choose from, you've got the Tioga Comp III repops available from loads of places or the snakebellys and panracers freestyle tyres available at:

Anybody who rides old tyres is just a bit stupid.

Hahaha... pretty much all of that is what I am talking about ^^ ;D
I think I am trying to talk myself into buying my first repop items. Not too fussed what people will think/say for these builds, as I will be running Skyways on both also and some people I know won't like that either.

Fact.
As I found out riding shitty Barefeet tyres which equaled a broken collarbone.
