    I love these tyres.
    Had to replace a Racing Ralph 33 that had worn down. Was wanting to get some G-Ones to go tubeless but can’t find any.

    Bought one of these as I remembered them from an old bike.

    They are fast on the road, grip well off road, don’t puncture easily, aren’t heavy and can be had for £5 each. What’s not to love?

    I also rate them – they work really well for the riding I do. Have to slow down in mud though. Waaaayyyyy less punctures than on previous tyres. Mine usually cost £12….A pair lasts me about a year.

    Just bought some CX Pros for a 26″ gravel bike. Hoping they’re as good. They weren’t £5 though!

    Have them in 26 on my shopper. Fast on the road and excellent in the mud.

    They are pretty good value, though the K-Guard puncture resistance is not up to marathon standard but is not too bad – I commuted on them for about 6 months and only ended up with 1 or 2 punctures.

    Yeah, they’re 700c. Either 30 or 35mm wide

    Some good prices on Schwalbe at the moment.
    CRC are doing Land Cruisers for £8.99 too.

    Popped a pair on an old steel MTB for gravel/byway/railtrail use prior to buying a more specific bike. 1500km, not one puncture, plenty of grip in the dry and more than fast enough on the tarmac. Offspring now using the same set!

    I swapped the Conti’s that came on my CDF as I was getting punctures nearly every ride. These have been faultless. Great value tyre.
