[Closed] Best Commuter/City 26" Tyre?

I have just put a pair of[url= http://www.conti-tyres.co.uk/conticycle/ti%20sport%20contact.shtml ]conti sport contact on[/url]

Puncture proof - guaranteed and very fast rolling. Noticeably lighter and quicker than the marathons I had on before

comes with an inner tube for low 20s pounds

For once, The Omniscient Medical Professional is right.

🙂

Can this thread be put on as a sticky please - that ^^^ is worth saving for posterity!

On-one are doing lite skin big apples for about £15 (thats about 30 off) if you fancy the big air chambre aproach

on one are doing 15 quid schwalbe big apples at the mo. haent tried them but might be worth a look...?

But they're not puncture proof, no tyre is. 😉

ahh, thanks for the advice chaps; going on reviews by BR, the Big Apples seem just what I'm looking for... Weight isn't too much of an issue with this build but wouldn't particularly want something over the 700g mark...

Again many thanks.

But they're not puncture proof, no tyre is.

tiny slivers of glass can work their way thru eventually -T'missus ha a pair onher commuter and has had a couple of punctures like that in 5 years of commuting.. If the tyre is less than a year old and you get a puncture tho they give you a new tyre and tube.

Been riding on the contis this week - very impressed with grip and speed. Its a small tyre so can be a bit harsh

Put the sport contacts one one of our bikes - made a huge difference. They are very fast - and can be had at a very reasonable price(with free inner tube) from [url= http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/product/139/sport_contact/continental-sport-contact-tyre.html ]ukbikestore[/url]

conti ultra gator skins if youre prepared to pony up the money for them. I've had them on 26" and 700c commuters and they have been flawless for ages.

or the sports contacts. Conti tyres in general for me all the way.

I have schwalbe ones ... too big and heavy for my liking.
