Can you recommend a good puncture resistent tyre for a hybrid. Current tyre specs are 700x38c - not sure if I can go different specs to this?
Thanks, Brad.
I swear by Continental Gatorskins. The Hardshell Gatorskins don't last any longer and are pricier and heavier.
Unfortunately velogear stock neither :(.
Gatorskins only come in 700x23 and 700x25 in folding beads though. The wire beads are harder to put on but go up to 700x32. If you're riding in the city though, 25 is more than wide enough, but it depends on your rim width too.
Thanks for you response. Might try the gatorskins next time. :)
Hi Brad,
Any of these are a good puncture resistant tyre for a hybrid. Any of these will fit on your rim.

My recommendation is the Vittoria tyres. They are probably the best tyres out of all brands!
If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks

Thanks, have gone with the Vittoria - hope they are as good as they sound. ;)
I missed the last offer like this. Have grabbed some slicks for my MTB. Thanks Velogear
edit; just read the instructions so my deleted question was pointless.

Will anything 700c fit? I want something a bit thinner to get some more speed out of the bitc… bicycle :)
Ended up getting the Maxxis Overdrive 700x38. $30 for two tyres to the door! Can't complain about that! I've been powering on so hard on the Roam that the back is wearing out quicker than the front!
Hi,
ANy tyres 700 x 35 through to 700 x 43 would fit your bike. Here are our options: http://www.velogear.com.au/bike-parts/bike-tyres-bicycle-tub…
Your best bet for something a bit slicker and faster would be one of these:

http://www.velogear.com.au/bike-parts/bike-tyres-bicycle-tub…
http://www.velogear.com.au/bike-parts/bike-tyres-bicycle-tub…
Anything smaller than 700 x 35 would be pushing it.
Plus Vittoria are the best of the best when it comes to tyres!
Let me know if you have any other questions.

"Huge new range of tyres has just arrived! "
Err where are the Schwalbe, Conti, Maxxis?
This web site http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=7;navigation=1;mid=0;pgc… has 240 road tyres alone, as far as I can see Velogear have just 8? And your Vittoria range has only 3 tyres in it? http://www.velogear.com.au/catalogsearch/advanced/result/?manufacturer[]=136
I think you ned to re-think your definition of 'huge'.

I'm looking for a pair of puncture resistant tyres. My current tyres have "Infinity 700cx38" written on them.
Could anyone recommend some tyres from this site?
Cheers!
Dude, did you read the comments above? I asked the exact same question and got some answers…
haha oops!

Thanks mate! the Kenda Bitumen tyres look good!
I inherited a Giant Elwood SE from my dad (it's not safe for him to ride a bike anymore), and it's been sitting in the garage for a couple of years so the tires are in pretty poor condition.
The specs for the bike are available here: http://www2.giant-bicycles.com/en-au/bikes/lifestyle/1138/28…
I don't really know anything about bikes so I thought I'd ask for some recommendations on which (if any) of the tires available are suitable for this bike.
Thanks in advance!

Michal

Thank you for the prompt response!
Is there any particular tyre you would recommend for pavement/dirt roads? I'm likely to only drive around the suburbs.
Also, what about tubes? The more reliable the better :P
Regards,
Michal
Any of these would be most suitable then:
http://www.velogear.com.au/bike-parts/bike-tyres-bicycle-tub…
(high level of puncture protection)
http://www.velogear.com.au/bike-parts/bike-tyres-bicycle-tub…
(good puncture preotection)

Hey Rep, I want to purchase 3 pairs of tyres. Any chance of combined postage and if I purchase 3 tyres will 6 be sent out?…. or do I need 3 separate orders?
Hi,
If you purchase 3 tyres at the checkout you should only be charged approximately $10.50 postage and we will send out 6 tyres alltogether for you.
There is no need to place seperate orders.
While I'm at it, I think I am going to have to service the "old" bike I inherited. It hasn't had any sort of service since it's purchase about 3 or 4 years ago, and has been sitting in the garage for the last 2 years.
Once I clean some rust off it I though I might need to do something to oil/grease it (the wheels squeak a bit). Is there any information you can provide on cleaning/servicing or otherwise maintaining a bike with pointers to products you have available that can help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Michal
I've already picked out the wheels and tubes I'm going to get. Trying to figure out what else I can order add to my order :)
Hi Michal,
All cleaning and lubrication can be found here: http://www.velogear.com.au/cycling-accessories/maintenance/c…
Each product will tell you exactly what it does and how it works.
Otherwise you can read here on how to do a basic clean: http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/article/bike-cleaning
Thank you. All helpful and I've picked out some maintenance products.
While I was browsing your other categories, I came across this: http://www.velogear.com.au/cycling-accessories/kickstand/kic…
Do you know if it is capable of suspending the rear wheel above the ground if adjusted to maximum height? I would order it if it could double as a sort of maintenance stand (at least for the rear wheel).
Regards,
Michal
P.S. I only ask here because I don't think it likely I will get a response via the website in the time you are offering the promotion.
Hi Michal,
As far as I am aware it wouldn't lift your back wheel off the ground.
Thanks Velogear - my 2 sets of tyres ordered have arrived and look great. Now to destroy my current tyres so I feel justified in changing them over. :P
Perfect! Thanks for letting us know.
Huge new range of tyres has just arrived!
Also please don't forget to 'like' this special if you are happy with it! Thanks :)
