“I PURCHASED TWO NEW TYRES BACK IN MARCH THIS YEAR I THINK, FOR MY KID CARRIER TRAILER TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL TYRES FROM 15 PLUS YEARS AGO.
BUT DUE TO THE MUCH HEAVIER LOADS I HAVE BEEN CARRYING, 1 SWAG WITH 2 SLEEPING BAGS 1 LARGE BAG CLOTHES, 1 SMALLER BAG WITH FOR TOOLS & SPARES, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN A FEW WEEKS BACK.
UNDER NORMAL WEAR & TEAR THEY WOULD BE GREAT BUT I HAVE DONE QUITE A FEW MILES TOWING WITH THEM PROB 50 KILOS ON TRAILER AND UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT ALWAYS EVIDENT WHEN ONE OF THE REAR TYRES FLAT AND THE BEADS HAD BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO NOT STOPPING SOON ENOUGH OR JUST TO DANGEROUS TO STOP AND FIX THE FLAT.
BUT OTHERWISE IM HAPPY WITH THEM I HAVE BEEN HOMELESS SINCE MID MARCH AND HAVE ANOTHER 83 NIGHTS UNDER THE STARS TILL MY APARTMENT IS VACATED AND I CAN MOVE IN.
LESS FLATS SINCE I PURCHASED SOME THORN RESISTANT TUBES & HAVE NOW ADDED SLIME ALTHOUGH I THINK I'VE MANAGED TO PICK UP EVERY THREE CORNERED JACK NORTH OF ADELAIDE. YES I'D BUY THEM AGAIN AND RECOMEND THEM TO OTHERS.”
“These are great and a much better option for a kids 16" bike, especially for when transitioning to a pedal bike.
We bought our daughter the Silverback Skid 16" bike that came standard with chunky 16 x 2.125" tyres.
I decided a more appropriate fit would be these slick tyres. They look great, are lighter and have significantly less rolling resistance, all of which helps with manoeuvring a new larger/heaver bike.
Perhaps 99bikes could consider the slicks as the standard option to the build?”
