Flint removed, tube switched, and small cut filled with super glue-sorted. 400 miles later and yep, another puncture. Similar culprit and similar riding contexts, so well worth giving the casings a periodic purge with Oxford Products Tyre Scrubor similar medium-stiff brush. Otherwise, aside from those small cuts, the tread and sidewalls show little deterioration. For big tyres, acceleration is brisk and provided you’re erring on higher pressures, they don’t require much effort to keep on the boil either. Gearing and rider fitness play their part but with a range of 29 to 69inches, I was able to cruise at a steady 17mph, with sufficient in the tank to chase down, or socially distance from other riders.

Optimised for control and concise braking, many tyres have been endlessly tested by MTB and dirt riders to ensure they're up to the task! Options such as puncture-resistant and puncture-proof tyres can be a wonderful choice if you're fed up with repairing punctures en-route. Here at Bikester, we aren't just bike lovers, we're bike experts. And one of the things we know about is tyres. We bring you the best selection of tyres from all the best makes out there. We know that to achieve outstanding performance your bike needs to be equipped with high-quality tyres. Through suitable tyres, the rider can be guaranteed the balance, speed, traction and safety required for these demanding sports. Weight and grip are two main concerns when choosing the right road bike tyres. A balance between lightweight tyres that are also extremely grippy on wet and uneven streets is essential for performance. Many modern road and racer tyres have high levels of puncture resistance and strength whilst also keeping your whole set-up agile and light. On top of offering our advice and guidance on the products listed that we personally use, know and have experience with, we understand pricing is a big part of making your decision too. We always try to bring the best pricing, so feel free to give us a nudge when you spot a better price. We are able to Price Match with the majority of items we have available. Off road, their plush, agile casings meant spotting and weaving around hazards was great fun and inspired confidence, even descending at 27mph. Wet, greasy roads haven’t taxed them, or me for that matter and there’s been plenty on surface water these past few weeks.

Please note, whilst we can Price Match the majority of products, sending this information does not guarantee a price match is viable. Cycling is today considered a progressive form of personal transport that offers nothing but advantages – with one unfortunate exception: the tire puncture. Schwalbe identified this problem at an early stage and has continually set new milestones in matters of puncture protection. For example, Schwalbe offers touring and city tires that can call themselves “flat-less”. For high-performance cycling, our Tubeless Easy Technology combined with tire sealant also sets new benchmarks in preventing punctures. And almost all other Schwalbe tires have an integrated puncture protection belt. Schwalbe tires for the future.

Puncture resistance comes courtesy of their K-Guard belt, which is layer consisting of natural rubber, reinforced with Kevlar fibres. A standard feature throughout the Active series. A fortnight and approximately 200 miles in, I succumbed to our first flat. A very slow hiss that I initially attributed to the tread slicing though puddles and lanes carpeted in dung. Indeed, pressure loss was super pedestrian -I was unaware of it until the next evening, when the lanes were calling. These big tyres have literally rolled aboard my Univega’s Rigida Snyper and Mach1 hoops with dexterous thumbs, although they’ve needed a (single) lever to scoop them off again.
