kanny 20,530 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I've got a cannondale sl2 it's a fairly decent bike with decent bits on it and well designed you can pick a previous years model up for less than a grand. Try Paul's cycles they have some good offers 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,809 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 A fella I know who's proper in to his bikes has told me to go for a Cyclocross, they look like a road bike but they can be used on trails. He did 111 mile on his the other day for his morning ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been considering doing it myself but I can honestly say that between me and my mates not one of us has had a puncture in the last 7 months and the place we do most our riding is stone and rock.

terryd 8,409 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I used the marathon plus tyres cycling to work and never had a puncture in over a year after putting them on doing about 18 miles a weekday. Roads and paths though not off road. But cracking tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just replied mate.. and its got lost in space by looks of it!! Do it pal, lighter.. faster.. seals some decent holes, for me anyway. If it ain't broke... don't fixit it though as they say... Been tubeless 2 year now and not had a problem yet.. 100 percent no flats!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any advice on tyres BR, I've wtb trailboss on the back and a vigilante on the front at minute and they're excellent in the wet but not so good in dry dusty conditions.
