Ask a sensible cycling question and you will get a sensible answer.

Panaracer Pasela is the best tyre.
SON Deluxe is the only way to go lighting.
I ride a Dawes Karakum.

Schwalbe Durano Plus are the best tyres.

Perhaps, but I will stick to what works for me.
I tried Panaracer Ribimo and found that after a while I got a lot of small punctures.
The irritating sort that means you have a flat tyre in the morning but cannot be detected with the bowl of water test and no obvious cause.

Mmmmm. Weight would be an issue for me there.

I ride a Dawes Karakum.

But not for you :-)

(nice bike otherwise tho!)


It is good for utility transport, but I get the impression Dawes spent all the money on the frame and threw on whatever components were lying around the factory floor.

This group is for taking the slash out of cycling and cyclists - it is fun
and so easy to do. I do enjoy taking the **** out of this low life.
There is a moderated cycling group, but the cycling ******s that use this
group don't go there as they are too stupid.

Exposure lights are the best.
I ride a Scott CR1.

For commuting / utility use I'd say Schwalbe Marathon Plus are better
- being bullet-proof is worth a lot when you're cycling to work in the
dark in the rain.

Something hub-dynamo-powered is better for lights - I just don't need
to think about lights - they are on the bike, and switch themselves on
when required. I don't have a SON though, just Shimano hub and B&M
lights.

SMP are the best for hybrids, Durano for road bikes,

I think this nicely sums up how sad and hateful this individual has
become. Can we get Social Services around?

I tried Marathon + once, they were so heavy with high rolling resistance, no grip and difficult to fit.

URC is a forum for sad old men to moan about how cyclists don't pay road
tax, and never stop at red lights.


'bout right?
