I`m sick of the Schwalbes puncturing so am looking for replacements.

80% road based riding and the rest is rough stuff.

Any recommendations ?
Bloody broken spoke 2 days ago on the trek and now my last tube buggered on the CX, good job I`m heading to work for 2 weeks,, I`ve no bikes left working ! :D
Trek,,,, too cool for school ,, apparently

    Knobbly or slick?

    Last year I used the Rapid Robs that came with mine until the weather improved and the desire to actually do some off-roading left me.

    I use my one for commuting and everyday duties so I switched to slick Bontrager Racelite Hardcases and have no punctures with them.

    Vittoria Randonneur Pro Cross or the normal Randonneur Pro. Not great off road, but great for all weather on road and the occasional trail.

    I run mx cx almost exclusivley on road and use the Randonneur Pro 2 in a 32, nice tyre and fine for road & gravel etc, probably hopeless in mud.
