Q&A Rubber Solution

Q: Can you help please? I ride a Dave Hinde M2 Mtb designed for road use (rigid forks and V brakes). The bike was supplied with Continental Twister 26x1.9in tyres. The tyres were light and behaved well, but were prone to punctures from road junk, hedge clippings and so on. I replaced them with a pair of Halo Twin Rail 26x2.2in puncture resistant tyres that have been excellent, with no punctures, a good volume of air, they roll well and are comfortable, but they weigh a ton. Can you recommend a pair of tyres that is light, puncture proof and comfortable to ride?

Chariot Cougar II Child Trailer review
