Mads Posted January 15, 2015 Share When I started cycling I had a puncture on almost every ride. Turned out that my tyre pressure was hopelessly to low. Once I pumped my tyres 8 bar ... my puntures are now far apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koukie Posted January 15, 2015 Share Continental gatorskins, 7-8bar pressure. I had one puncture in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev null Posted January 15, 2015 Share Only had one puncture in 4 years of cycling.  Have been running Kenda and Gatorskins with Kenda inners. The secret is to keep your pressures high enough.  I pump the tyres before every ride to between 8.5 and 10 bar, depending on the weather.

dev null Posted January 15, 2015 Share Only issue I have with Gatorskins is that I find that their rolling resistance is quite high, but if you want to go with tough tyres, they be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonkie Posted January 15, 2015 Share +1 on tubeless with a good sealant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose cog Posted January 15, 2015 Share + 1 on Conti's and correct pressure. Take care at intersections and when crossing or turning right at large intersections. There is often a lot of fine debris including small fragments of metal and glass lying about which catches in the tyre and is then pushed through as the tyre rolls over. Â I hardly ever puncture but hit a pothole with a set of Ultemo's which caused a bubbly to appear. Doubt the Conti's would have done the same thing but granted the weight difference between the tyres is chalk and cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DieBees Posted January 15, 2015 Share All I can say is GATORSKINS! My front ture has done more than 5000km. No jokes. It looks bad but not one puncture in the current condition. Also check your rimtape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DieBees Posted January 15, 2015 Share And like mentioned above. Check your tyre pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
