Let's Ride Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Serfas Seca - I swear by them on all 5 bikes. Thinking offhand, I remember 1 puncture only. About R150 per tyre, I prefer the wired tyre over the foldable as they're easier to get on the rim. Plus they've got groovy stripes you can colour-code to your bike. Serfas Seca - I swear at them. Just kidding. Go for any tyre. I ride maxes detonaiters on my commuter and they work well.
scotty Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 On the tyre it says:(770 X 23C) Vittoria 23-622Could you perhaps enlighten me as to what this means? haha Thanks everyone for all the information! it is really helpful. I am always afraid of being ripped off because I know nothing about cycling products so I appreciate all the advice. My tyres currently have slime in them. From what I understand, this seals punctures if they develope. I would like tyres that have this as well. Is it a particlar tyre that you buy or can you "add" the slime to any tyre?You can buy pre filled slime tubes, more expensive than regular and IMO i would not bother with them. Pump your tyres to recommended pressure indicated on the side and you should be ok.
'Dale Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Using Vittoria Rubino for the 1st time.Really happy so far as a set of training tyres.
'Dale Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 My all time fave training tyre is th Schwalbe Ultremo DD.About 500 a tyre though.
Weight Weenie Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Another vote for the Serfas Seca RS. Got them at Sportsman's Warehouse for R200 a tyre so widely available any time of the year. Touch wood no issues yet. Use them with tyre liners as well, which is something you can look into.
