Due to the threadbare pattern on the rear tyre of the second Spesh tricross I own [one year younger than the first one but not ridden for twelve years by its previous owner so well new] I find that there is a layer of pine needles covering the mudguard inside. As this progresses it becomes harder to pedal and I have to stop to poke at this layer with a stick]</p> <p>So there.</p> <p>Schwalbe Landcruiser I put on front and back after the bike came out of 12 years in the shed.</p> <p>Sold To me by a lovely man who is friends with the Mickly Pran years back in this thread before he was banned. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14263#post-382322 Sat, 06 Dec 2025 17:41:53 +0000 acsimpson 382322@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo threadbare tread and rubbish thread, but first rate necrobumping! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14263#post-382248 Sat, 29 Nov 2025 10:37:54 +0000 chdot 382248@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>However</p> <p>To address yr problem </p> <p>“as they have all started wearing out at the same time“</p> <p>Not clear if this is existential or misdiagnosed in some way. </p> <p>As you will be well aware, they “wear” by being used!</p> <p>They degrade by being left in the sun or shed for a long time - especially if underinflated/flat. </p> <p>As you will also be aware rear ones wear out faster - mostly because rear is driving wheel but also carries more weight. </p> <p>Wear rate can increase due to over or under inflation. </p> <p>I’m sure there are many forums where the precision of this is argued about…</p> <p>I withdraw my comment about not riding. </p> <p>Ride less. </p> <p>Or</p> <p>Pay attention to inflation </p> <p>It <em>may</em> be recommended that rear tyres are inflated more, but that might well be argued about somewhere too…</p> <p>Practically, some people swap tyres (f/r) so they wear about the same and can be replaced as a pair. </p> <p>Some people just replace the most worn so have non-matching tyres (I’m sure that’s not you…)</p> <p>Some people wait until their tyres explode (not recommended). </p> <p>Just ride. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14263#post-382247 Sat, 29 Nov 2025 10:09:31 +0000 chdot 382247@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was merely irony… </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14263#post-382245 Sat, 29 Nov 2025 09:21:18 +0000 gembo 382245@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot what a rubbish idea </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14263#post-382239 Fri, 28 Nov 2025 23:47:14 +0000 chdot 382239@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Stop riding… </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14263#post-382238 Fri, 28 Nov 2025 23:20:34 +0000 gembo 382238@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@acsimpson The Rubbiish Thread Thread, I am worried abut a lot of my tyres as they have all started wearing out at the same time.
