FAQs

Is this tyre suitable for mountain biking?

No, the Nimbus 2 is designed for road and bike path use. Its tread is not deep enough for traction on technical dirt trails.

Does this tyre come with an inner tube?

No, the purchase is for the tyre only. You should use a 26-inch inner tube that matches the 1.5-inch width.

What does TPI mean?

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch. A 30 TPI casing indicates a thicker, more durable construction designed for longevity.

Is the tyre directional?

Yes, check the sidewall for a rotation arrow. Mounting the tyre in the correct direction ensures optimal performance of the tread pattern.

Can I use this for touring?

Yes, its durable casing and flat protection make it an excellent choice for long-distance road touring on paved surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tyre bead on the rim

Ensure the tyre is centered in the deepest part of the rim channel while installing, and use a small amount of soapy water on the bead to help it slip into place.

Frequent loss of pressure

Check the inner tube for punctures and inspect the interior of the tyre casing for any thorns or debris that may have pierced the casing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent puncture resistance with Flak Jacket technology
Durable rubber compound for extended tread life
Lower rolling resistance improves pedaling efficiency
Stable handling on wet and dry pavement

Cons

Heavier than high-performance racing tyres
Not suitable for technical trails or soft dirt
Wire bead makes the tyre less packable than folding models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tyre features a wire bead, which provides a secure fit on standard 26-inch rims. To install, ensure you have appropriate tyre levers, as the wire bead can be firmer than folding-bead alternatives. When mounting, inspect the rim tape for damage to prevent pinch flats. To maintain the tyre, check the air pressure before every ride to ensure it stays within the manufacturer's recommended PSI range. Periodically remove small debris, such as tiny stones or glass shards, from the tread grooves to maintain the integrity of the Flak Jacket protection layer.
