greatescape Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Does anybody know where one can get decent 24 inch tyres? My daughter's bike has skinny Kenda Small Block 8's and I'd like to fit something wider and more aggressive with more traction so that she can gain more confidence. Tubeless would be a bonus. Any suggestions?Proper tyres in 24 inch seem to be as scarce as hen's teeth.
matthieup Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 I cannot find tubeless. The 24' are very scarce for some weird reasons Moolz 1
Jewbacca Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Bike24 is about the only place... They have some really good tubeless options for not that expensive!!! greatescape, Pikey and ChrisF 3

ChrisF Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 If you dont get the tubeless tires, try "Sludge Uni-seal" (the one with the rhino image). Maritz has done MANY trails with his 20" and then 24" bikes. His FIRST ride ended early due to a puncture .... since then we used "Sludge Uni-seal" inside the tubes. MANY many thorns on our trails !!!!! Pull it out, droplet of white, and carry on riding. Once he got the 26" we immediately went tubeless, still "Sludge Uni-seal". Few weeks back we drove on a park near the house .... both of use removed about 20 thorns on each bike Carried on riding.

greatescape Posted August 21, 2020 Author Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks everybody, looks like Bike 24 it is then. Who'd have thought one would have to import.
