Warren Melissa Go Riding Posted October 14, 2019 Share Hi Guys, We have signed up to do the CT Cycle tour next year. Will be doing it with the wife and just want to check on this road tyre sizing thing. I have 29mm internal width rims, what road tyre size will fit that? 700x40c? I would have no idea and would appreciate any sort of advice other than running my DHR2's on tar. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted October 14, 2019 Share 700 x anything will fit on an MTB. The bigger you go the less silly it'll look. By comparison a 2.4 DHR is a 61. Warren Melissa Go Riding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Melissa Go Riding Posted October 14, 2019 Share Thank you! So 700x35c is fine to run on my 29mm rims Got a friend who has some for me but thought they we too narrow. Not to bothered how they look, its only for the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bothered how they look, its only for the road Depending on rim width I wouldn't go too narrow - 35 on 29mm may be at risk of blowing off the bead at decent pressure. I'd stick to 40 + if you can. Warren Melissa Go Riding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted October 14, 2019 Share Try Farr Dot gravel tyres. They are a bit heavy, but they roll very fast on the road and can be set up tubeless. They are 45c, so will be wide enough for your rims. Edited October 14, 2019 by Grease_Monkey coppi and Warren Melissa Go Riding 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstV8 Posted October 14, 2019 Share I run Continental slick 40s; on my MTB . I use it daily as my road training bike . They are tubeless pumped 4 bar so they really roll fast on tar . I find they are about 3 to 4 kph faster on average over st distances . Warren Melissa Go Riding 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special group on here.You can also get them direct from Farr's online store. They don't need tubes. I currently have them set up tubeless on my gravel bike and they work great.

FirstV8 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Where about did you buy them? I bought them off The Hub almost new back then . Im sure some of the bike shops should have . . Its a very reliable tyre so far . I've done more than 10,000 km on them with only one puncture and hardly any visible wear on the tread . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted October 16, 2019 Share Try Farr Dot gravel tyres.

I run these on my gravel hardtail and they roll super well on tar. They are not light but they are bulletproof. The 45c is a perfect width for me Grease_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
