![]() 14+ miles today without breaking a sweat (a metaphorical sweat that is, as I'm generally like a blind lesbian in a fish shop when exercising) Looking forward to the 14 hills now...

So if I fit fat slicks to my mtb rims are they any more prone to punctures than a normal tyre ? and can anyone recommend me some good tyres, Im not too up on the cycling scene just yet but want to use the bike for a duathlon next year and also use my commute to work as a training session albiet a short one at 15 miles.
Thanks Stew Last edited by stewie; 23-08-10 at 01:01 PM. |

No, no more than a knobbly tyre, in fact as they run at higher pressure then they should be a bit better.
As for brands, then depends on your budget. I've got some semi slick Michelins, but Schwalbe seem to have a bigger range on Ebay. If its only one race, then don't spend the earth on tyres. There are some budget slick/semi slicks on Ebay, they'll be better than knobblies

Friends that have fitted more road-biased tyres to their mtbs swear by Schwalbe Marathon Plus. Grip well, last a long time and have amazing puncture protection ![]() |

Oh dear, I suddenly came over all flush and bought myself a new frame/forks and possibly brakes
M4 FSR XC Pro frame, Fox Triad shock / Reba SL forks and maybe some hope M4 brakes It was a bargain, honestly... Looks like I'll be rebuilding my bike for the Hills...
