Recently bought a folder. Keep getting puncture. Tried 100psi, but the tyre came off.
Any recommendations for a decent tyre?
Vital question - 305 or 349? There's two sizes called 16", and they're 2" different in size 😉
If it's 349, you can get lots of decent high pressure tyres from Schwalbe - Marathons, Kojaks etc. If it's 305, a bit trickier - can still get Marathons and Big Apples.
Ah right. Didn't realise that.
I'll check. It's a mezzo d10 if that helps?
I think the Mezzo is a 349 size, but best to double-check. It'll say on the tyre sidewall.
Mezzo is 349. Speedy = Brompton Kevlar tyres. Hardy = Schwalbe Marathon. Avoided = Raleigh.
+1 for Schwalbe Marathon or Marathon Plus have them on my Moultons but in 20" (406) flavour.
Marathon Plus tyres onto a 16" rim are a fun fitting job - I've bent steel tyre levers doing that 😉
