Before Buying Road Bike
Tyres Buying new road bike tyres for your bike shouldn’t be something complicated. But there are however some variables that differ from bike to bike and these can make the whole selection process something not easy. The type of bike that you have, your riding style should help you decide on what tyre suits you best. Below are some factors you should consider before buying road bike tyres. Know the Size of the Tyre you Need Tyres for standard bikes such as mountain bikes usually come of sizes 26 inches outside diameter. Tyre size is usually in metric with the most common sizes being 650mm. BMX bikes generally come with 20 inch tyres. Tread Type You should select the type of tread depending on where you plan on riding your bike. Smooth tyres are best for racing and riding on paved surfaces. They have minimal contact with the surface of the road. A lot of riders, especially those who ride on road surfaces and pavements will want smooth treaded tyres. A few treaded grooves may help keep the bike on the road, but a lot will slow the bike down and make riding harder. Durability of the Tyre Another big factor to consider when buying bike tyres is the durability of your bike tyres. The durability of your tyres will depend on how well you maintain them. If you ride daily through tracks with nails, glass etc then your tyres won’t last. The opposite is true.
