Advice for touring tyre 26" wanted..
Torben Scheel must be edykated coz e writed:
I'm looking for a narrow (1.0 - 1.4), high pressure rear tire for my evita. It has to be puncture resistant (had two visits from the p.. fairy yesterday), and secondly have a low rolling resistance (slick preferred). I will use it for everything from touring to race, but mostly for commuting. Any ideas? TIA Torben I tend to stick to Verdestein, good puncture resistance and sem to roll well, the conti's on the trike puncture too easily. Ian |

Its a bit worn but not totally worn out so you can give it a test if you want. It has nada grip in snow, slush or mud tho. M. |

It has kevlar belt and kevlar bead, and the 26x1.25 version is 125 psi. It's spelled "T-serv" but if you do a web search, also try "T-Serve" since most on-line catalogues spell it that way.

This model comes in widths from 1.25" to 1.9".

"Torben Scheel" skrev... Amazing how fast the answers are rolling in.. I posted before i left work, picked up a Specialized Fat Boy slick on the way home (yes I know, I should have waited), and now I can see that I have to get a S-lick too. The shop carried a Schwalbe Marathon Slick as well, any opinions on this and the Fat Boy? Jensen Cykler på Jagtvej 72-74 har nye S-Licks som foldedæk. Mit indtryk af dem er dog efterhånden, at de gerne snyder dig på prisen, hvis de kan slippe af sted med det. mvh Mikael |
