Schwalbe Billy Bonkers Performance Clincher Tyre // 54-559 (26 x 2.1 Inches) Bronze Skin

Product Information

Plenty of traction, permitting spirited cornering without squirm, although 55-70psi were my defaults, depending on whether I was intending on exploring dry bridleways, woodland and green lanes, or wanting to do some tarmac terrorism.

Cycling is today considered a progressive form of personal transport that offers nothing but advantages – with one unfortunate exception: the tire puncture. Schwalbe identified this problem at an early stage and has continually set new milestones in matters of puncture protection. For example, Schwalbe offers touring and city tires that can call themselves “flat-less”. For high-performance cycling, our Tubeless Easy Technology combined with tire sealant also sets new benchmarks in preventing punctures. And almost all other Schwalbe tires have an integrated puncture protection belt. Schwalbe tires for the future. Come and see us! We're on the doorstep of Flyup417 Bike Park, Cranham Woods, Cotswolds Way and an hour away from the Forest of Dean.If you're after tyres that are specifically designed for exercise bike use, you'll also find a selection on Bikester that are fit for purpose. They're designed to be quieter than regular tyres. Furthermore, the rubber compound minimises the risk of overheating and slipping whilst reducing wear. Accessories A fortnight and approximately 200 miles in, I succumbed to our first flat. A very slow hiss that I initially attributed to the tread slicing though puddles and lanes carpeted in dung. Indeed, pressure loss was super pedestrian -I was unaware of it until the next evening, when the lanes were calling. These big tyres have literally rolled aboard my Univega’s Rigida Snyper and Mach1 hoops with dexterous thumbs, although they’ve needed a (single) lever to scoop them off again. Scottish Highlands - AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-21, IV1-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-26, PH30-41, PH49-50 Off road, their plush, agile casings meant spotting and weaving around hazards was great fun and inspired confidence, even descending at 27mph. Wet, greasy roads haven’t taxed them, or me for that matter and there’s been plenty on surface water these past few weeks.

Whether you have a city bike, touring bike, road bike, gravel bike or MTB: The tires affect the riding experience like no other bike component. The choice of tire not only determines how well the wheel grips the ground but also influences how easily and comfortably the bike rolls. Ideally, the tire combines such characteristics as maximum grip, high mileage, optimum rolling properties, low weight and reliable resistance to punctures. Sounds technical? The sum of these properties is tangible to every cyclist: as an optimum riding experience. At Schwalbe, we work to continually refine and improve this riding sensation – day in, day out. Here at Bikester, we aren't just bike lovers, we're bike experts. And one of the things we know about is tyres. We bring you the best selection of tyres from all the best makes out there. We know that to achieve outstanding performance your bike needs to be equipped with high-quality tyres. Through suitable tyres, the rider can be guaranteed the balance, speed, traction and safety required for these demanding sports. Optimised for control and concise braking, many tyres have been endlessly tested by MTB and dirt riders to ensure they're up to the task! Options such as puncture-resistant and puncture-proof tyres can be a wonderful choice if you're fed up with repairing punctures en-route. Flint removed, tube switched, and small cut filled with super glue-sorted. 400 miles later and yep, another puncture. Similar culprit and similar riding contexts, so well worth giving the casings a periodic purge with Oxford Products Tyre Scrubor similar medium-stiff brush. Otherwise, aside from those small cuts, the tread and sidewalls show little deterioration. Tubeless tyres are another time-saving solution for riders who want less hassle and more riding time. Riders of dirt bikes and MTBs often prefer tubeless tyres as they can run at much lower pressure and are less prone to deflation. Tubeless tyres hold huge advantages for dirt and gravel riders due to their durability. Many road bike riders also opt for them as they roll exceptionally well on the street too.
