Went to a trail centre over the weekend and sustained MANY punctures, which was very frustrating. OK I am riding an old hardtail, and I do ride hard. But it shouldn't be this bad!
Running XC mavic 317's (which didn't help) with schwalbe smart sams (folding). This was a bad choice. Far too flexible, so it was snake-bite's all day, even with mega high pressure in them.
So. A mate is selling me some DH orientated wheels (halo's), which should help. But I need to find some tyres.
Width - 2.25 ideally (I can't fit a 2.3 between the 'stays, which seems to dramatically reduce my options).
Ideally full fat wire beaded tyres.
Not fussed about weight.
Any recommendations?
