    Tube vs. Tubeless on ebikes

    In on of the recent threads there were a discussion about the tube vs. tubeless on the ebikes. There where several opinions expressed, but not sufficient statistics were shared to make a conclusion what is popular and actually being used by majority of people, at least those who visits and reads...

    Tubeless Options for Allant+ within Bosch Circumference Range

    I'm looking for a solution to going tubeless on my 9.9S. I've had to change a flat on a commute and with a bike so heavy and loaded with panniers, it makes it a chore even though I'm adept at changing flats. I haven't had luck finding a tubeless road/hybrid oriented tire that's in the 2.2-2.4"...

    eCargo Tires

    These ones just came out. They are the Schwalbe 'Pick-Up.' They are heavy duty and fast. They are going on a restaurant owner's bike that will serve in place of a second car for her family. The three-year-old already rides bikes. He can go on the back along with groceries and supplies. In a...

    Better tires for my HyperScorpion: motor-cycle tires?

    After 7,000+ miles (in one year...) I need to replace the HyperScorpion tires. With so much mileage, I've had quite a few punctures of course. I read somewhere that we could use motorcycle tires (heavier but possible with the 1,000 W motor and 52V/19A battery) which should be more puncture...

    Which tires come on 2021 Superdelite GX?

    I have a 2021 Superdelite HS Rollof with GX option coming mid April. I see everyone talks about it coming with Rock Razor tires and that seems to match what R&M's photos show. But R&M's spec page shows: Schwalbe Super Moto-X 62-584 Reflex; Schwalbe Johnny Watts 60-584* I'm guessing the Johnny...

    Tubes

    Anybody having problems finding 4.20x20" tubes? The Lectric website is currently out and I also verified it with their customer service. Does anyone know of anyone selling 4.20x20" fat tire bicycle tubes anywhere? Amazon, eBay etc do not seem to have them either. Anyone know of any direct from...

    Commuter Tire Question

    What is the narrowest e-bike rated commuter tire (i.e., low rolling resistance) that I could safely/reasonably put on a 27.5 35 mm width rim? My riding is asphalt and crushed limestone. Extra points for a Schwalbe recommendation...

    Como 3.0 - Slipping & sliding - different tires?

    I typically only ever ride on a paved path. However whenever those slick Nimbus tires encounter thin layers of mud on the path, it might as well be like riding over ice and today I took a rather nasty spill as a result. In the interest of retaining whatever skin I have left, I'm wondering if...

    Suspension vs. Bigger Tires

    Hey All, I'm sure we'll see a wide range of opinions on this, but I am shopping around for my first ebike where the primary use is a 20 mile one way commute on city streets (with some short cuts across bike paths and sidewalks at appropriate speeds). The roads in some sections of the city are...

    Less than full PSI on tires?

    I tried searching the Forums for this; apologies if I missed a relevant post. Just curious about the pros/cons of not running my tires at stated top PSI? Schwalbe Fat Frank 29 28 x 2.0 (#50-522) -- sidewall of tire says 30 - 65psi, and they're currently at 65. When I got the bike delivered to...

    I have a RadRover that is less than a month old (88 miles). My first bike in twenty years. I love riding it, but is has spent more time parked this last week than moving. After having the rear brakes go out heading downhill the other day and getting them readjusted, I made it a mile before a...

    Tire recommendations for iZip Dash 29'ers

    Howdy, all -- Hoping for specific tire recommendations. Whatever you have tried and had good OR bad experiences with, I'm interested in -- specific size, profile, brand, vendor, etc. For context, the stock tires are fine on my new/used 2014 Dash, but I'm 240 lbs and wore them out quickly on...

    New tires and rotating tires on Rad Rover

    Hi Guys - So I was wondering if any of you have changed the tires on the radrover to something else - if so which one did you pick ? I feel the tires are fine but riding on concrete pathways in my university they make a really loud buzzing noise - it's fine on roads and no sound on gravel...

    Tubeless tires (26"x2.3")

    I got 4 flats in 2 months on a new bike, the last with one week old Mr. Tuffy liners. I was originally looking at Marathon Tour (flat-less) tires but I don't think they would have survived my last flat. So now I am looking into tubeless but don't know where to start. Need something with cushion...
