FAQs
What is the main advantage of the ADDIX Green compound?
The ADDIX Green compound offers a balanced blend of grip, rolling resistance, and durability, making it suitable for a wide variety of trail conditions and general riding.
Do I need an inner tube for this tyre?
Yes, this is a wired (Tube Type) tyre and requires an inner tube for operation.
What size wheel is this tyre for?
This tyre is designed for 26-inch diameter bicycle wheels.
Is this tyre suitable for tubeless setups?
No, this is a Tube Type (wired) tyre and is not designed for tubeless conversion. It requires an inner tube.
How do I determine the correct tyre pressure?
Recommended tyre pressure varies based on rider weight, riding style, and terrain. A general range is 25-50 PSI, but consulting your inner tube's specifications and your own experience is advised.
Can this tyre be used for downhill riding?
While versatile, the Nobby Nic is more suited for cross-country and trail riding. For aggressive downhill, a tyre with a more robust casing and aggressive tread would be recommended.
How should I clean my Nobby Nic tyres?
After riding, rinse off mud and debris with water. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on the tyre bead or sidewall.
Troubleshooting
Tyre won't seat properly on the rim
Ensure the rim is clean and undamaged. Deflate the tube completely and work the tyre bead around the rim, ensuring it is centered. Use a tyre lever carefully if needed, but avoid pinching the tube.
Inner tube punctures frequently
Check the inside of the tyre casing for sharp objects or debris. Inspect the rim strip to ensure it covers all spoke holes. Ensure the correct size inner tube is used and not overinflated before seating the tyre.
Tyre feels sluggish or has poor rolling resistance
Verify tyre pressure is within the recommended range. Ensure the tyre is not mounted backwards (if directional tread). Check for any obstructions or damage to the tyre.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a wired, tube-type tyre. Ensure you have a compatible inner tube of the correct size (e.g., 26 x 1.90/2.125 or similar, check tube manufacturer recommendations for 2.25 width). Mount the tyre onto a standard 26-inch wheel rim, ensuring the bead seats evenly. Inflate the tyre to your desired pressure, typically between 25-50 PSI depending on rider weight and terrain.
Compatibility:
Designed for 26-inch diameter bicycle wheels. Ensure your bicycle frame and fork have sufficient clearance for a 2.25-inch wide tyre. This tyre is compatible with standard clincher rims and requires an inner tube.
Care:
Regularly check tyre pressure before rides. Clean the tyre of mud and debris after riding in wet or muddy conditions to maintain tread effectiveness and prevent premature wear. Inspect the tyre for any cuts, embedded objects, or excessive wear, and replace if damaged.
