GaryvdM Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I'm using Kenda Kwick Tendril Endurance 35mm with tubes. Over 4500km - not one puncture. They are easy to find in bike shops.

V18 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Posted October 17, 2018 Only doing about 20km per day total. I just don't like cycling suspension and big soft rubber if I don't have to. I did make that mistake once... Took about 30% longer for twice the effort.
Adr!@n Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 What do you run and how well does it work? How does it feel/roll in comparison to other setups. I run DH casing tyres obviously it's not going to feel like a road bike, but I can hit a couple of gaps on my commute as well.
Meezo Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I run on luck, and sometimes very little lucksies, try riding buddy

Sharkie 2 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 If you commute with a Hybrid or Road Bike, worth getting yourselves Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres Or Continental Contact tyres. On my second set on my new commuter bike and trouble free commuting in all conditions around London
Hairy Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 sies, try riding buddyppffftttt ... I have always said the time one needs to run is if the police are chasing you!
Bateleur1 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Commute with Road bike and MTB bike. Both normal tyres with tubes. Nothing special. In 8000km commuting this year I suffered 2 punctures both of them on road bikes. I don't sweat too much about it. When commuting in SA I also used a normal roadbike setup. Tyres did not last as long as it does here. Puncture risk in SA is soooo much more.
Bateleur1 Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 ppffftttt ... I have always said the time one needs to run is if the police are chasing you! +1. Only run when I am in biiiiig trouble and I don't have a bike or car at hand.
Meezo Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 ppffftttt ... I have always said the time one needs to run is if the police are chasing you!Or when her husband comes home
Hairy Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 ......awkward silence Or when her husband comes home
Hairy Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Picked up a bloody thorn this afternoon, fortunately it went in sideways and did not puncture the tube, "luck"!
