Hi all,
while doing a ride the other day, I had a puncher, and it's put a small hole in my rear tyre, I'm not too worried as it has warn down alot anyway! It got me back at least :P
So, I could do with a new rear tyre, possibly a front one too, but that one seems alright for now. It's a hardtail, GT Aggressor XC2 2008 model, not designed for proper mountain biking, but a solid enough bike for me.
I would like a tyre that is pretty quick, doesn't have to be mega grippy, but I don't want to be sliding around the place due to a bit of mud!
It's a 26" Wheel, it currently has a 2.3" tyre on it.
Anything upto £40, maybe more if it's worth it.
Any recommendations?
Also, I could do with a portable/frame pump capable of doing 60~65 PSI with ease, so any recommendations would be appreciated.
And the last thing, just wondering, does it make that much of a difference what inner tube you get? If so, what's the best to get?
If anyone could answer any of these questions I'd much so appreciate it.
Thanks for your time!
PS I hope I've put this in the correct section!
