hey guys. Ive been thinking (I know thats dangerous but I just cant help it )
Hopefully I'll be looking at a cheap bike as a commuter this weekend. nothing special, just an old raleigh. but it needs new tyres.
Now Ive got a dilemma, the bike will be used to get me to work and back (20 miles a day) and as such I want tyres suited for the road. however I also want tyres that would be suitable if I wanted to take the long way home across the trails (light dirt and gravel). so basically are there any suggestions as to a good choice that will be good for the road yet can handle the light offroad terrain as well.
I dont want anything expensive as its for a £30 bike so even budget tyres would suffice. (ideally £20 a pair tops) Been thinking about just fitting slicks but I like offroad riding too much :roll:
cheers
