These big tyres have literally rolled aboard my Univega’s Rigida Snyper and Mach1 hoops with dexterous thumbs, although they’ve needed a (single) lever to scoop them off again. Flint removed, tube switched, and small cut filled with super glue-sorted. 400 miles later and yep, another puncture. Similar culprit and similar riding contexts, so well worth giving the casings a periodic purge with Oxford Products Tyre Scrubor similar medium-stiff brush. Otherwise, aside from those small cuts, the tread and sidewalls show little deterioration. Tubeless tyres are another time-saving solution for riders who want less hassle and more riding time. Riders of dirt bikes and MTBs often prefer tubeless tyres as they can run at much lower pressure and are less prone to deflation.

A fortnight and approximately 200 miles in, I succumbed to our first flat. A very slow hiss that I initially attributed to the tread slicing though puddles and lanes carpeted in dung. Indeed, pressure loss was super pedestrian -I was unaware of it until the next evening, when the lanes were calling. Weight and grip are two main concerns when choosing the right road bike tyres.

Some transformations are more extreme than others, but all following the drop bars and knobby tyre narrative. Cycling is today considered a progressive form of personal transport that offers nothing but advantages – with one unfortunate exception: the tire puncture.

The sum of these properties is tangible to every cyclist: as an optimum riding experience. At Schwalbe, we work to continually refine and improve this riding sensation – day in, day out.
