I've got Kevlar tyres but I've found the glass can still get into the rubber and poke through.
I've been using the same set of liners since Sept 2000, and I've had about 3 flats in that time where it was a…
I have Mr Tuffys. No flats so far, but they do add weight to the rotating mass.
I'll be looking at kevlar belted tyres next time.
yeah petrol cheaper that water. what a joke!
Petrol.
what is cheap in australia?
probikekit.com
tyres seem to go in and out of stock.. so you need to keep an eye on them.
I tend to buy a few tyres, chain and cassette all at the same time, shipping is fixed price.

- Hi Lzzter, Neil here. I am soon to start researching an update to the Syd.Uni/RPA.Hosp cycling access map. Would you be interested in contributing some route ideas/knowledge? Email me on cyclists@internode.on.net if so and I'll fill you in on the project.
