Whether you have a city bike, touring bike, road bike, gravel bike or MTB: The tires affect the riding experience like no other bike component. The choice of tire not only determines how well the wheel grips the ground but also influences how easily and comfortably the bike rolls. Ideally, the tire combines such characteristics as maximum grip, high mileage, optimum rolling properties, low weight and reliable resistance to punctures. Sounds technical? The sum of these properties is tangible to every cyclist: as an optimum riding experience. At Schwalbe, we work to continually refine and improve this riding sensation – day in, day out. Tire solutions for sport, touring and everyday life. Schwalbe is working to eradicate the puncture. We will not cover general wear and tear on tyres cuts or slits, inner tubes, brake pads, cables, chains or bearings. This will be considered as general wear and tear that comes from BMX riding. If this particular model isn’t to your liking, Schwalbe offers the tyre in many other compounds and casings, with something to suit most needs. Schwalbe Magic Mary SuperTrail UltraSoft EVO TLE 29×2.4 specifications and details

Cycling is today considered a progressive form of personal transport that offers nothing but advantages – with one unfortunate exception: the tire puncture. Schwalbe identified this problem at an early stage and has continually set new milestones in matters of puncture protection. For example, Schwalbe offers touring and city tires that can call themselves “flat-less”. For high-performance cycling, our Tubeless Easy Technology combined with tire sealant also sets new benchmarks in preventing punctures. And almost all other Schwalbe tires have an integrated puncture protection belt. Schwalbe tires for the future. The EVO in the name stands for Schwalbe’s Evolution line of tyres, which all use a folding Kevlar bead. Braking traction wasn’t a big priority for this test, being front-wheel specific, but the Magic Mary handled the additional load of having extra weight thrown onto it on steep descents without threatening to wash out or squirm. Bending or denting of bars, frames, cranks, rims or forks are not due to manufacturing defects, so will not be considered a warranty issue. Choosing the correct bike for your discipline is extremely important, and sometimes for those new to the sport it can be difficult to know or decide, so we’ve broken down the main differences to help you make a decision.

TUBELESS FITTING – EASIER THAN YOU’D THINK!

Clinchers: Clinchers are by far the most common type of tyres found on road bikes and something you’ll almost certainly be familiar with. They have an open casing, the house is a separate inner tube and the bead of the tyre then hooks onto the rim of the wheel. The primary advantage of clinchers is that they make fixing a flat easy. All you have to do to get the pointer tube is pry off one side of the tyre. This usually requires a tyre removal tool but with some tyres, you can do it with just your thumbs. There’s a full wrap of SnakeSkin, a material used with the intention of reducing cuts to the tyre, and the side walls are protected with Apex, a substance designed to add stability and puncture protection. Once you’ve determined the size and type of tyre you require, it’s now time to choose the model. All manufacturers will have specific models designed for specific purposes. It’s useful to understand how a tyre is constructed so that you can make the right choice. Tyre Bead

Conclusion

The Fincci tyres are about half the price of most options on the market and they are far easier to get onto the rims. They also have no real difference in performance compared to most high-end brands although time will be the big judge of that. So far, I’ve used them for commuting for a few months and they performed well in both dry and wet conditions. I never realized puncture-proof tyres were available at this price. Choosing the right level bike for your riding ability is important. Components that are not suitable for your level of riding can wear or fail much sooner than expected. Although BMX bikes can look very similar, under the surface components and materials used can vary greatly. A pair of Challenge Strada weighs around 500g. That’s not super heavy for 25mm tyres, but there are lighter options out there. For example, the Strada SC S weighs a little less, say 480g per pair. When it comes to puncture protection, I’ve had no issue with Challenge Strada. They stayed intact and cut-free even after months of regular riding. I am also excited to use these in the winter as they seem much grippier than the Continentals in the wet. Choosing the correct size BMX bike is very important, bikes that are too large will be cumbersome and hard to manoeuvre and bikes that are too small can feel cramped and hard to keep under control. As the name implies, this tyre is as tough as some gator’s skin. If you’re looking for the premier road tyre offering maximum puncture resistance, you found it. This tyre uses technology developed in the automobile industry to create a tough-as-nails casing that many road riders rely on daily while putting down miles.
