Bikes: See my sig...

I ran a set of Panaracer Tri Sport 27 by 1 tyres for a good 5000 km in all conditions last year with no flats, have run the same set of Schwalbe Hurricanes (26 by 2) on my fixed mtb (and other bikes) for 3000 km in all conditions and snow with no flats, and figure that I have rode more than 20,000 km in the last year and a half.

With no flats.

I did have a newly fitted tyre blow out on me before I even rode my bike but that relates to a bad lot of Kenda tubes we had at our shop... after numerous blowouts we returned the whole lot of them.

The Hurricane are long wearing, fast, and puncture resistant, the Panaracers are just amazing, and I also run Schwalbe CX Compe tyres on my cross bike that sees almost all my no fixed commuting miles and gets a lot of other mileage.

I am thinking that it's been a few years of flat free riding and I am way overdue.
