When at pasir ris, do u take shortcut to avoid the steep slope at loyang?

Loyang slope steep?

53/23 on 451 enough to climb up liao. The gradient is actually pretty gentle. Its just that it is long.

Vigilante, henderson road, lor sesuai etc are pretty tortuous.

 

[erwinrommel]

dont talk cock leh, i use semi race tires such as conti gp4000s, i puncture every 4000km or so on those tires.

the punture protection belt must be good, dont need to be thick

Very good marketing terms.

Schwalbe has pretty good write up on that and boasted how good their protection belt is.. but then of course i have 3 flats with their durano tyres within a space of 1 year. Ditto for my panaracer minits tyres. Apparently i ran over some small stones at seletar and it became flat.

The only tyre i used without flats is the schwalbe marathon supreme. I even cycled into a construction site with it. Also, i did e brake on this tyres on wet void deck and won't skid. The only downside is it is slower than other faster tyres.

Mounting the tyre was PITA though.

I bought some yesterday and I spent two hours trying to mount the tyre.
In the end, not even. Need to remount again

the PITA portion only applies to wired tyres, the folding/folded ones quite simple, you need 2 lever and 5mins.

 

[DigDub]

mounting tire difficulty also depends on the rim. my old rim needed tire lever to dig the tire out, the rear rim was even a bit bigger than the front rim. new rim use hands can liao.

as for puncture resistance, other than the puncture belt, I think rubber thickness also will play a part.

Mine was the folded version leh.

Mounting Schwalbe tires on my rims was a piece of cake in comparison

 

[VD]

then u shld try the wired type . I also find wider tyres easier to install than narrower ones, but I believe applicable to small wheel. Brompton was a joy to work with, bare hands also can install.

Road bikes one stroke is 25 kmh. Not me.

I not on road bike. I on small wheels. Just slowly cycle up la. Use cadence and drop low gear and hamster up the slope.

I actually gave up during mounting. Had to go bike shop for help.

My rims are 406 size.
Considering how tight the panaracer minits for 406 size ones are, any idea if the 451 ones can work on the 406 rims?

I didn't get to try it yesterday (cos bike not ready, snapped one chainring bolt). But I touch the tread and I quite like it.
Very grippy. More than the duranos i had prior to this.

I tried road bike before. Easy to zoom off.

I was replying somebody who said that i found it ok to climb loyang slope because i could go at 25 kmh on road bike.

Anyway, its not difficult to climb loyang slope with small wheels with appropriate gearing. Just climb a few times should be ok.
