Why don't they make folding bikes for we poor people: who live in a studio and only want to ride on the sidewalk to the food store :(

The years I owned Bikes going all the way back to childhood is when the tires were new they weren't easily punchered but they got about a year old even if the tire still had a lot of thread they punchered a lot easier.

All locks should be time rated meaning how long does it take to cut your lock /chain with an angle grinder . thats generally less than a minute except for the new u bolts that have a coating that fouls the cutting bade on the grinder . Security is really more about WHERE you lock your bike than how .in a safe crime free zone you can leave it unattended but those places are lextremely rare . i live in the high Black Forest area of germany where people don't lock their bikes going into the grocery store ,so my 12mm thick kryptonite chain is probably over kill . however better overkill than killed by shock when you discover your 5000 € e bike is stolen .

Great video. Ive been riding on Chinese solid tyres for 8+ years, obviously never had a puncture ever as there's no tube . The ride quality is less but for commuting they're unbeatable 👍

Great video, but how do you check tire pressure if the tube has liquid tire seal in it, won’t it clog the value and go into your pressure gauge? Thanks for sharing. 😊

I have the Tannus solid tires on my bike the best investment I ever made I go long and short distances on my bike no maintenance no flat tires I will never go back to a regular tire again and yes I actually go very long distances with my bike and I love it

🎉good to know about tennis tires but my rims don't have hook lip on inside. So I'm back to square one. Ever seen Styrofoam used to prevent goat heads. Thanks guys!

Can I upgrade from. 26 x 1.7 to a 26 x 2.1 Tire?

Thanks

How do i measure it with outnumbers in tires? Please help

Nice...!😊

Have a video on noisey bottom brackets and crank arms? fixing or replacement

Great video.

Just get Pirelli Cinturato Velos. Feels like a road bike tire, more protection than Continental Hardshell and any Schwalbe Touring tire. New 100% Kevlar tech has made all this old school stuff obsolete. You can ride right over nails and goatheads and nothing will happen.

My tannus tires ride about the same as the gatorskin ultra hardshell tires, thorn resistant tubes and slime which still require pressure checks and carrying a pump/spare. Neither is a great ride quality, but at least I haven't had to change tires since in the dark since switching to tannus even after pulling 3 screws and 2 nails out.

Yeah, Tannus Armor. I learned to swear on a couple of languages when finally installed them, but I think they worth it. Puncture and pinch protection at the dame time. However, it wears the tyre from the inside 😱 At least, it wears down the rubber part. Actually, I put the inner tube to the Tannus Armor, then put them into the tyre. And then I put the whole thing on the wheel. That may be easier than fight the inner tube inside the TA while they are in the tyre and on the wheel.

How does Cycle to Go feel about Ebike tire repairs? (have you had any experience with them enough to offer suggestions like this other channel did) see: th-cam.com/video/Y9kA7ddN4zc/w-d-xo.html

I haven't had any HUGE issues with this lock yet! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfyHDlEqk6hqu9acdvK5NGzZsGKSokSbv It seems sturdy and like it will get the job done. I really like that it has a twisting lock feature to keep out dirt and debris. However, the mounting system is much too light for the lock, and continues to get loose/move around. It's mostly made of plastic parts, and I've had to tighten it a few times in the past week or so that I've had it. I'm worried that it's going to break off at some point while I'm riding. I'm considering just scrapping that part, but that would mean having to carry the heavy lock i my backpack and adding more weight. I wish I could have given this more stars, but without the mounting system, it's just another heavy lock that I have to cart around. UPDATE: Increased rating to 5 stars because the seller offered to provide a new lock and mounting system. Really appreciate the attention to customer service!!

Some major tyre company needs to make solid tires most psi in bike tires ramp up to around 100 psi making them rock hard so you'd not even notice if it was a solid tire I'd bet you could recycle old car tires into new solid tires

Solid core tires really do seem like the better choice. Are there fat tire solid core tires? What about omnidirectional solid core tires? Give you greater flexibility in your steering, more like how a hover craft moves about, but still maintain contact with the road.

I just double . 👍 I tube hate messy sealant. 🥴🥴🥴

2 words, Tannus Armour

Flat out works great in a tube.

Thank you so much. I tried to buy new tyres for my Jamis bike today in Kyoto, where I bought the bike, and the staff were like, computer says no, despite having a load of tyres in there. After watching your video I looked at my tyres and found the ISO number, 23c 622. I shall go back tomorrow fully informed and find the right tyres myself, for my trip to Hokkaido next week. Much appreciated.

After my bike was stolen I’ve spent over $250 on Kryptonite locks for my new bikes. I’m not taking any chances with the new ones. I use at least 2 locks when I leave my bike out and don’t legit out longer than 5 minutes. I live in NYC bikes get stolen all the time and the police can’t do much about it.

Hands down slime is the best, saved my ass out in no where 5 min on my way.

Another excellent video! 👍 Re: the solid tires 1) how does weight compare to typical tube+tire? 2) is ride noticeably rougher? (no air, no cushion) Thanks again for your effort on these excellent videos! 🙂

Stan's works great in a tube except it can't be a patched tube or the sealant dissolves the patch adhesive and you have a future flat.

Do tannis tires come in 20x4?

Excellent video. You cover everything quickly and clearly, with excellent visuals and no verbal fumferring. I use triple protection: thorn-resistant tubes + Mr. Tuffy tire liners + high quality kevlar puncture resistant tire (Gatorskin and Schwalbe Marathon Plus are both excellent). I ride thousands of miles and years between flats. 🙂 Also, thorn-resistant tubes hold air much longer, I guess because they're so thick. Yes, any puncture-resistant product adds weight to the wheel, but I'm happy with that tradeoff. Again, excellent video. Very well done! 👍

ty vm

quality tire-liners and new tires, with a heavy tube usually works well for me; I can go years between flats; all the rest is goopy, or heavy, and not worth it.

Excellent and informative! Thank you!

A little naivete, I fear: First, if you lock to a tree, thief cuts the tree & steals your bike. Second, to trust a security officer? Are you kidding? S/He's not responsible if your bike walks; in fact, I've had security officials proudly announce they're not responsible if the bike's stolen. Third, even signs aren't good; thieves remove the signage; sometimes, signpost isn't well secured. In sum, lock to things that aren't easily cuttable or that lack easily removable parts. It's a jungle out there.

Will it work in a tube too,Slime does not work.

I have this Tannus on my MTB … perfect … for little bit off road and over land and town trips 🍀🍀🍀✌️😜✌️🍀🍀🍀

💯👍👌thanks for all that, good job very helpful thanks again enjoy life ✌️😊

I used to be a messenger in the 80's bikes with any brand U lock could be snapped with a 2×4 or steel rod...just insert and twist! Cutting is too loud.

God lord !! Waist time u own me 15 mnts

Thank you for the video!

The best tire is a ebike speed rated tires dont use cheap tires if you are going above 5 mph , the wirers in the bead are flimsy especially on the front wheel, blowout at 35 is a 50 / 50 if you can ride it out without hitting the ground hard. A good rim liner is recommended and some extra black tape wont hurt over the liner. . A tire liner or and old thick tube cut up then contact cement to inside tire works keep the cut up tube away from the bead of tire.. All those pour in chemicals in your tube weakens the tube and adds weight and throws balance off. Also the ride on a 26 inch wheel is softer and it seems more flats on average. The thinner 700 is higher pressure but rougher ride but less flats on average. The good tire is the most important thing especially in the front , the rear you have a 90% chance of riding a flat out in the 30 mph and up world

Kevlar (foldable)v metal/steel bead on tires?

I use flat out plus I got some shower pan liners from Home Depot..I line the inside of the tire like any tire liner and install the tube..never had a flat after that..

Never heard of the Tanner foam never goes flat one.. have to investigate that further ! I have a fat tire lectric bike .. 20 - 4.0 ... hmmm...

Don't forget to tell them to also get the correct valve length with presta

I run Schwalbe marathon plus. Never had a puncture in 20k miles

Very informative presentation.

It is much easier to load sealant into a tube before fitting in the tyre. The sealant I use is OKO - heavy duty, off-road, big bottle made for use on tractors etc. This is very economical sealant compared to expensive small cycle sealants. Sealant is a better way to go than barriers, because perhaps only 50% of punctures are caused by piercing of the tyre - the rest are caused by small failures in the tube wall, which usually become apparent as slow punctures.

So well done, thank you.

Excellent as usual
