Repop tyre quandary

<< < (2/6) > >>

Try to avoid riding the bikes with skinnies... they're a fooker for getting punctures. Sick of fooking repairing em on my boy's Elf. Only need to look at it and it gets a flat.  :LolLolLolLol:

Are you talking about the Aggressors? If so the answer is I am not sure, as I only pumped them up to keep them up whilst I was going away so they weren't sat flat on the bike for 5 weeks and risk creasing the sidewalls. They were probably at about 3/4 of what I would call 'the old school pinch test' pressure. Not hard anyway. I think they got very warm above my garage and just failed through age.

Regarding the moderns I used on the Brighton ride - they were nuclear hard as per the recommendations, and I used the matching inner tubes that came with them (and 2 spares!)

I do love my skinnies (but not in a DTTDB kinda way, knoworramean?!)

That's a great point though... are there repop skinnies available too???

Not that i know of. ???

no idea what 'nuclear hard' is but I had no bother with my mid school haro multisurface tyres all the way to Brighton. In fact none of us had any puncture issues, we did enjoy trundling past spandex road warriors replacing inner tubes at the roadside less than 10 mins into the journey though :teef:

I suppose there's always the chance there was something sharp inside the rim? Or as Nick says just avoid skinnies if they're prone to it
