Henley 1 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 I use Gator skins on my road bike and on the TT bike's training wheels. They seem to be doing the job.The Zipp deep section rims of the TT bike needs new clinchers. I couldn't care about weight, but what is important is that it must not go flat during a triathlon. With slime in the tubes, what is the most puncture-resistant tyre around?Listening
SlowManiac Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Schwalbe Durano or Durano Plus if you really don't care about weight. Use them on my commuter they are about as puncture proof as you can get on a road tyre

The extra width reduces a lot of the road buzz.
Veebee Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 where is the cheapest place to buy these Schwalbe Durano's from ?
wynandk Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 http://www.evobikes.co.za/schwalbe-durano-26-x-1-10.htmlCurrently on a clearance sale for R496 (RRP R795). I'm looking for these or gatorskins for R400 (or less ) if anyone knows of a place.

doczessop Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I bought gators kins at Cajees Boksburg for about 480 today. 25mm. Gators kind hardshells were 630.
bikebloke Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Duranos are heavystick with gatorsI run them of my cosmic sL s never had a flat yet and no slime required
Brickleberry Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 My conti GP 4 seasons are fantastic , the price is a bit stupid , but I find they give better protection than a gatorskin and are a far better tire .

LOOK695 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 After a solid winter mileage phase, in the wet and dry Schwalbe One, 25c Comfy DurableGrippySlick rolling resistanceBeen riding 4000s for years with no problems, but decided to try out the ONE's also in 25mm. So far so good. Had a puncture though Thursday morning from glass. 1st puncture in years. Must add that tyre pressure was on the low side and with the rains lately, there is a lot of glass pieces that have been washed across the road. I find on a wet road when standing the back wheel looses traction much easier than the contis which makes me wary on wet corners. They mount much easier on my rims, so will most probably continue using them.
