FAQs

What is the maximum pressure for this tyre?

The maximum recommended pressure is 120 PSI.

Is this tyre tubeless compatible?

No, this is a standard clincher tyre designed for use with an inner tube.

Can I use this for gravel riding?

While the 32mm width and durability are good for rough tarmac, it is designed specifically for road and commuter use, not technical off-road or gravel trails.

Does the wire bead affect storage?

Yes, because the wire bead cannot be folded, the tyre must be stored in its full-circle shape.

How much does the 700c x 32mm version weigh?

The tyre has a listed weight of 415g.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tyre on the rim

Ensure the bead is pushed deep into the center channel of the rim, which is the smallest diameter point, to provide more slack.

Tyre feels sluggish on the road

Check your tyre pressure with a gauge; if the pressure is too low, rolling resistance increases significantly.

Frequent punctures occurring

Verify that your rim tape is properly installed and not exposing spoke holes, which can cause internal punctures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional puncture resistance for daily use
  • Reliable grip across various weather conditions
  • Highly durable construction for long mileage
  • Provides a stable and comfortable ride quality

Cons

  • Heavier than folding race tyres
  • Wire bead makes it more difficult to pack for travel
  • Not suitable for high-performance racing needs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this tyre, ensure your rim is compatible with 700c clinchers. Due to the wire bead, the tyre may feel tighter during the initial mounting process; using a plastic tyre lever can assist in seating the bead. Always verify the tyre is centered before inflating.

Maintenance Tips:

  1. Periodically check the tread for embedded shards of glass or sharp stones.
  2. Maintain air pressure within the manufacturer's range to prevent pinch flats.
  3. Regularly inspect sidewalls for signs of dry rot or excessive wear if stored in direct sunlight.
