than 0.05 mm but not more than 0.1 mm from the original specifications, the wheel can be re-trued. This means that the wheel is put back into round and the high and low spots are taken out. If the wheel is out of true more than 0.1 mm, then it needs to be replaced.
When shopping for a new set of bike tires, you'll often see the size listed as 700c. But what does that mean? 700c refers to the approximate outer diameter of the tire in millimeters. This is the most common size for road bikes, and you'll also see it on some hybrids and gravel bikes. Tires in this size range will typically measure between 28 and 42mm wide.
700C tires are one of the most popular sizes of tires for road bikes. They offer a good balance of rolling resistance and comfort, and they can be used on a variety of terrain. 700C tires are typically wider than other tire sizes, which gives them a smoother ride. They also have a higher volume, which helps to absorb bumps and vibrations. 700C tires can be used on both road and mountain bikes. They are a good choice for riders who want a versatile tire that can handle a variety of terrain. 700C tires are available in a

I'm really happy with this tire. I use this in conjunction with a Minion DHFII 2.5 up front. Excellent traction in all of the challenges I've given it, including wet, hardpack, dusty, and jagged lava rock. I'm happy with this on the back thus far. In Oregon, I primarily ride enduro-style trails. I'm really happy with how much grip I have in the corners. I've run the Specialized Slaughter and even attempted the Forte Pisgah2 in the past. This tire appears to be lot tougher than the Specialized (I was constantly getting punctures with this tire), has a ton more traction than any of the two, and is also significantly lighter than the Pisgah. I must admit that I am particularly harsh on rear tires, so I'm glad to report that this one is living up to expectations. awesome tire

I solely rode GP4000/s before turning tubeless roughly five years ago. Finding a reliable tire that offers a good ride and handling has been my biggest challenge with going tubeless. When I learned that Conti was releasing the 5000 series and that a tubeless version will be available, I knew that after years of sacrificing tubeless tires and spilling orange sparkly blood, I had finally won the bike gods' approval.I've only had these on my bike for about 150 miles, so I can only comment on the installation and ride. For an accurate assessment of durability and handling, additional kilometers will be needed.Compared to the several Hutchinson types I've previously used, these were more challenging to put on the rim. Of course, your experience will vary depending on the rim you're using. When attached, the bead quickly hardened and was already airtight without any sealant.The ride is comfortable, perhaps comparable to the GP4000S (it's been a long since I rode with tubes, so it's hard to compare). It's okay that they aren't as tacky as the Schwalbe Pro One. I'm hoping they will turn out to be a better blend of performance and longevity after gashed open two sets of Pro One tires in less than 500 miles each and had uneven durability from Hutchinson (Fusion, Atom, Sector).I'll update the evaluation as soon as I have enough miles to judge them by (or any failures). However, everything are going well thus far.

Take into account that I haven't put many miles on these yet.The tubeless-capable rims I own are probably made to fit tires very tightly. With other tires, I experienced the same problem. Tire levers aren't something I like to use when putting a tire, but they were required. A little soapy water on the bead will assist, as a tip.I've only driven about 60 miles on these so far, so I don't know how long they'll last. I mounted them on my commuting bike because I needed a solid road tire that would be comfortable for long commutes, have a low rolling resistance, and be relatively puncture resistant.I've only used them on roads and bike trails, so far no punctures. I decided to use 700x32, and I run them at 85 to 90 PSI. My prior tires were similarly 32mm, but they had much thicker and deeper tread. These feel lighter and are substantially more responsive. Due to the rubber compound utilized, they also provide higher traction despite being thinner and having less tread. They are also quite quiet due to reduced tread. No bothersome hum or buzz.Since they improved my ride so considerably, I must admit that I was amazed. These tires affected the riding more than I anticipated; I had anticipated them to be a little quicker and more responsive. Simply put, the ride seems faster, more agile, and smoother. They come highly recommended from me. Again, I haven't logged many miles, so I can't speak too much about the puncture resistance. I also don't frequently ride over things like glass fragments, thorns, thumbtacks, or spike strips. I've experienced no problems thus far.I mounted them on a Trek FX 3 for anyone that are interested. Simple hybrid commuter with an AL frame, a carbon fork, and a simple Shimano groupset. I have, however, been examining the Trek Checkpoint SL5. These tires (28mm) would be perfect for a gravel bike, and I'd be happy to go on some road climbs and group rides.

These had been on my want list for almost a year. What held me back from taking the plunge was trying to justify the $80 purchase. However, I had already purchased a set of Hutchinson tires that were less expensive and had received positive ratings from some of the bike magazines I read. I also acquired my first apartment in over a year with that buy. Prior to that, I was using the Specialized black belted tires that came with my Allez. They do come in at $55 per tire. Which is why I sought a more affordable choice. I cycle 5000 miles a year. I frequently live far away from assistance, so that's more than 100m per week. The 80 dollar fee for the Gators after getting the flat was certainly justifiable. I gave these five stars just for the peace of mind. I just so happened to watch a video after making this purchase that compared the rolling resistance of this tire to a number of different Continental tires. The tougher shell of this tire makes it slower even though it has better puncture resistance (Gator Hardshell tires are the hardest). I lost a speed of 1 to 2 mph. However, the fact that I am far from home and don't have to worry about a flat as much only makes me feel better about traveling, which is why I gave these the maximum rating of 5. And the setback offers me a reason to strengthen myself. However, in accordance with the video I indicated previously in my review, when these tires wear out, I'll upgrade to Continental Grad Prix tires. They provide comparable puncture protection while being a quicker tire.The wire in the wire bead gives them a stronger side wall, which is why I chose them. I had a really difficult time putting these on as a result. If you acquire the wire, be prepared for a fight because this tire ranks as the hardest install of all the bikes I work on. To go with them, I also purchased new 60mm Continental tubes. I aligned the valve stem and the Continental logo. Therefore, it will be simple to identify the puncture's position in the tire in the event of one. I also experienced a shipment problem. When I got the tire, one of the wires was bent. However, I was able to correct it by hand and mount.I noticed that a few other reviews mentioned having holes in their tires. Indeed, I have them as well. They are a little difficult to see in the photo I took of them. Anyway, I found out that they are wear indications after doing some study. The tires are finished when the holes are no longer visible. Nice touch. Overall, I'm glad I made the switch to this tire. I'd use these again even with the slight speed drop.I ride through the desert (Las Vegas). I therefore cannot vouch for how these grip in the rain. However, they appear to grip well in my climate. As with any new tire, I advise taking it slow in corners until you know what it is capable of. I've only covered around 600m of these, and I'm delighted to report that there have been no flats so far. However, if you ride through cities, you need either use these or the tougher Gator Hardshell tires.I took a variety of photos and I hope the evaluation and they will aid the selection.

So that my child could cycle to school, I switched my mountain bike tires for these comfort bike tires. You should pair them with Sunlite Bicycle Tubes (would stay away from the Slimes tubes if possible). Very pleasant and smooth ride.I chose the Schwinn over the Kendall since it seemed like a better bargain and the Kendall appeared to wear down quickly. The tires were a little bit stiff when I initially took them out of the package, but 30 minutes in the sun seemed to loosen them up a bit. Install was moderately simple; on a scale of 1 to 10, it received a 3, (with 1 being easiest). After being mounted, the tubes and tires surrounded the rim without any obvious deformation.Those wishing to replace their mountain bike tires with comfort tires should most definitely consider these tires.9/26/2015 Update:I purchased two more for my younger son's bike because I adore these tires so much. Together with the 26 x 1.90 Sunlite Standard Presta Valve Tubes, these tires perform admirably. I decided to add additional pictures and instructions after reading numerous comments regarding the challenges some folks had mounting the tires.1. Fill the tube with just enough air to make it self-circle.2. After inserting the tube and valve into the rim, wrap the tire around the two components. The tire is currently barely around the tube and hasn't been pushed in.3. At this point, just concentrate on pushing the tire into the rim from one side. It is easiest to begin at the valve; just make sure the tire's blue line can no longer be seen. Concerning the tire's opposite side, don't worry.4. Continue going around the tire and pushing it into the rim until just one edge of the tire is sticking out.5. After that, turn the rim over and begin working on the opposite side. Once more, begin at the valve and push the tire into the rim.6. You will run into resistance when you are about 7/8 of the way through the tire. I pushed the final 1/8 of the tire in using the handle of a wrench as leverage. USE NO SHARP TOOLS AT ALL.7. After that, simply softly pressurize the tire. Lock down the valve nut. To ensure that the tube is distributed evenly, give the tires a couple bounces.8. Verify that the tire is fully seated in the rim; there SHOULD NOT BE A BLUE LINE ON THE TIRE.9. Continue doing this until the container is entirely filled.Each tire normally took me around 10 minutes to change using only my hands and a wrench. I hope these pictures are useful.

The only reason I gave these tyres 4 stars is because they are ordinary and nothing spectacular. Bicycle tyres measuring 26 x 2.15 are precisely what is described. Whitewalls. The cost was extremely affordable. Whitewalls ended up being more affordable because blackwalls were $1 less but not on Prime. The tyres were simple to install and arrived promptly in excellent shape. Additionally, I purchased new tubes and wheel liners (spoke strips.) For a Garden Way Model 26 Cart that I repaired, I bought them. I figured the whitewalls would look nice on it (picture).

I'm really happy that Goodyear has entered the bicycle tire industry! As a daily commuter, I use a three-wheeled luggage trike with two 20-inch tires up front, and I go through around three pairs of 30$ Schwalbe tires every year. In the midst of a flat tire emergency, I purchased these, and I'm so pleased I did. The white ones were simple to install and arrived in 1 day. They are far stickier, grippier, and gummier as BMX tires than the ones I was wearing before. Although I believe this adds some drag, they perform well in the rain and have been subjected to numerous potholes in the past month with no evidence of wear or punctures.

Update as of 3/29/19: Almost no wear has been noticed after 2100 miles of use with the turbo trainer. Where the tire touches the trainer, there is some blackening, but it is caused by the metal of the trainer rubbing off onto the tire. This is a crazy thing. Although I'd be happy to get another, I don't believe I'll need one for a while.Updated on March 29, 2018: Despite putting more than 1300 miles on this turbo trainer tire, it still looks brand new. My trainer has a very small amount of red dust on it, but nothing significant. This tire is still working like new after more than 1300 miles.Since purchasing a smart trainer, I have nearly exclusively used these. I initially used my standard outdoor tire, but I soon realized it was wearing out far too quickly, so I opted to get replacements. I've put well over 550 miles on my trainers, and you hardly notice any wear. They connect with my trainer really well. It was easy to mount them to my wheel as well. I constantly employ tire levers. These are something I have two of, one for my wife and one for my bike. Both of them are doing amazing work.

First impressions: My ENVE 3.4's carbon tubeless wheels' installation was significantly simpler. The 5000 TLs did need me to utilize levers, but they were quite simple to install. To raise the tire onto the rim beads, I use an air compressor. Putting the tire on the Pro Ones' carbon rims required so much pressure that I worried I could crack the levers. The Cont. 5000 TL tire and the previous Pro One tire are both 28mm tires. The 5000 TLs are substantially smaller than the Pro Ones in both width and height. In actuality, my front wheel has a Pro One 25mm, which is larger than the Cont. 5000 TL on the back. Therefore, the Pro Ones are bigger and lighter than the Cont. 5000 TLs. I do wonder whether the Cont's having less tire volume for the same size tire as the Pro One's will influence ride comfort and rolling resistance. The Pro Ones are my second pair, and I have ridden them for roughly 6,000 miles. Other than the fact that they were a little challenging to install, I have no issues. I haven't ridden the Conti 5000 TL tires yet, having just fitted them on the back. After traveling a few hundred miles, I'll report back to you on how they handle and ride.

With Amazon Prime, tires delivered in 2 days, which was 2 days quicker than anticipated. According to reviews I've read, there is indeed some debate concerning Continental's size. When I ordered a 700cX35, a 700cX28 was sent instead. I ultimately settled on a 700cX32 after measuring this with a tape measure and discovering that it was actually roughly 2mm wider than the previous 35mm tire, which measured 30mm wide. Since goods are made in India and not Germany, the metric system must differ. There must be a correction chart somewhere at 365 cycles.The tire itself is deeper than most street tires, has a thicker belt, and deep tread. It fit on my 30 year-old rims with only the last 6" needing a bead tool, and was very well balanced for a heavy tire.Although it rides a little harder than the previous cyclo cross tire, rolling resistance was also reduced. Ten more pounds of air in the back eliminates the sense that the tire is drifting in a hard turn despite the tire's good street traction. Have fun and make sure it fits first!I'll then need to go look for some thorns.
For example, a Continental bicycle tire might cost you more than a Kenda bicycle tire Bicycle tires usually cost from $15 to $150 depending on the brand and type. A Continental bicycle tire might cost more than a Kenda bicycle tire. The size of the bike tire also affects the cost. A 26-inch bike tire might cost more than a 24-inch bike tire.
High-end tires should definitely last at least 2,500 miles. This is because they are made of higher quality materials and are designed to last longer. However, racing bicycle tires may only last for 1,000 miles because they are designed for speed and high-performance. Bicycle touring tires, on the other hand, can last up to 4,000 miles because they are tough and made to last.
To find the right sized bike tire, measure the diameter of the wheel and double it. The resulting number will be the bike tire diameter. For example, a 26-inch wheel will require a 52-inch bike tire.
The first Tour de France was run on 1" wide tyres. As road surfaces improved, tyres got narrower and narrower in a quest for speed. However, it turns out that wider tyres are actually faster. They offer increased comfort and traction, and they roll faster than their narrower counterparts. One of the main benefits of wider tyres is increased comfort. Narrow tyres are much harsher, and can cause a lot of vibration and fatigue on long rides. Wider tyres offer a much smoother ride, and can make a big difference on long rides. Another benefit of
