Product Information
Full details
The Nutrak Speedster Tyre in 700c x 40c is designed for cyclists who tackle gravel and mixed terrain, offering a balance of affordability and high performance. Its key benefit is versatile traction and low rolling resistance, making it suitable for both wet and dry conditions. A potential consideration is its 24TPI construction, which may offer less suppleness than higher TPI options.

FAQs
What type of riding is the Nutrak Speedster Tyre best suited for?
This tyre is ideal for gravel, mixed terrain, light trails, and commuting where you encounter varied surfaces like dirt, gravel, and pavement.
Does this tyre come with an inner tube?
No, the inner tube is sold separately. You will need a 700c inner tube with the appropriate valve type for your wheel.
How does the honeycomb centre tread benefit my ride?
The honeycomb pattern is designed to reduce rolling resistance on smoother surfaces, making your ride more efficient, while still providing ample grip when needed.
Is the reflective sidewall effective in all conditions?
The reflective sidewall is designed to reflect light from external sources, such as headlights, significantly increasing your visibility in low-light conditions like dusk, dawn, or at night.
What does 24 TPI mean?
TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. A 24 TPI casing means there are 24 threads woven into the tyre carcass per inch. Lower TPI generally indicates a more robust but potentially less supple ride compared to higher TPI casings.
Can I use this tyre on a road bike?
While it can be fitted to a 700c road bike wheel, the 40c width may not fit all road bike frames and forks due to clearance limitations. It is best suited for bikes designed for wider tyres.
How durable is the puncture protection?
The tyre features a dedicated 2mm puncture protection layer, offering enhanced resistance against common punctures from sharp objects found on gravel and mixed terrain.
Troubleshooting
Tyre won't seat properly on the rim
Ensure the tube is not pinched under the bead. Deflate the tyre slightly, push the bead into the rim channel all around, and then re-inflate. Check rim tape is intact and properly seated.
Frequent punctures
Verify tyre pressure is adequate for the terrain. Inspect the tyre tread and sidewalls for embedded debris or cuts. Ensure the 2mm puncture protection layer is intact. Check the inner tube for damage.
Uneven wear or performance
Ensure the tyre is mounted correctly and inflated to the recommended pressure. Check for consistent bead seating around the rim. Rotate wheels to check if the issue persists on a different rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your wheel rim is clean and free of debris.
- Carefully mount one bead of the Nutrak Speedster Tyre onto the rim.
- Work the second bead onto the rim, starting opposite the valve stem. Use tyre levers sparingly if needed, being careful not to pinch the tube.
- Inflate the tyre to your desired pressure, checking that both beads seat evenly on the rim.
Compatibility:
- This tyre is a 700c x 40c size. Ensure your bicycle frame and fork have sufficient clearance for a 40mm wide tyre. Most gravel, cyclocross, and many hybrid or touring bikes are compatible.
- Compatible with standard 700c rims. Check rim width compatibility for optimal fit.
- Requires an inner tube (not included).
Care:
- Regularly inspect the tyre for cuts, embedded objects, or excessive wear.

- Check tyre pressure before each ride.
