That's gotta be good, right? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15296 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 22:00:23 +0000 druidh 15296@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I use the Conti GP 4 Seasons (700x28) for touring and commuting. Three thousand or so miles this year and two punctures. That said, I'd think about something a bit meatier depending on the state of the cycle tracks I'd be encountering. I'm currently trying out some Marathon Cross tyres on my 26" hybrid-ised MTB. They seem to be a good balance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15213 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 22:05:06 +0000 kaputnik 15213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So it looks like I can't get yellow :(</p> <p>However, as my tourer is second hand and has mis-matched tyres (a black Marathon Plus up back and a skinwall Delta Cruiser up front) I'm still looking to re-tyre.</p> <p>What are the panels recommendations for touring? Do I really need to go to the bother of lugging around the weight of a pair of Marathon Pluses? For info I'll mainly be onroad and doing a bit of cycle paths, nothing that would really qualify as off road though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15070 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 14:15:02 +0000 ruggtomcat 15070@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>sorry musta got confused, was looking for 32c myself for the winter...</p> <p><a href="http://truegoo.com/">puncture resistance?</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15069 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 14:08:51 +0000 kaputnik 15069@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>this one at wiggle </em></p> <p>They only go up to x23c (I have them on my Sunday Best road bike) unfortunately. I was looking for something x32c fat and with tread and puncture resistance suitable for touring. I am convinced I found one a few weeks back but now I can't find it again. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15063 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 13:09:23 +0000 ruggtomcat 15063@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Schwalbe_Lugano_Road_Tyre/5360042613/">this one at wiggle</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15049 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:41:12 +0000 druidh 15049@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Neither Schwalbe nor Conti distributors are showing a yellow 700x32c tyre. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-15025 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:37:32 +0000 ruggtomcat 15025@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>shwabe do a yellow (striped) basic tire in 700/32 I was lookin at em last night. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-14984 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:24:02 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 14984@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmmm. Halo do a Twin Rail in different colours and 700 x 32, but I can't find a yellow. Continental do yellow tyres, but only up to 700 x 28... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1559#post-14972 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:05:23 +0000 kaputnik 14972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Despite the fact I'm sure I've found them before, no amount of googling can turn up any 700x32c coloured tyres. I'm particularly looking for yellow. Tyre colour is particularly important to someone with my levels of obsessive-compulsive bicycle vanity!</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
