How to fit a solid tyre | Cycling Weekly

[@vincentaurelius2390]

Nice how the interviewer doesn't interrupt and lets the mechanic explain what he's doing in his own words.

[@carnsoaks1]

for 100 years, man has been searching or a way to remove punctures from the list of fails that happen when biking. PERFECT for my commuter bike. What is the brand, where is the Infomercial so I can research these. surprised there was no talk about why, what where etc.

[@justinw1765]

Tannus, Euro based but there are some US dealers/distributors that ship.

[@carycase5563]

I had a schwinn bike with solid tires, they were soft and amazing, I think there is resistance because it would mean you are not buying tubes. I live in Phoenix Arizona and tubes don't last that long unless you keep your bike in controlled climate.

[@TezTezTezTezTez]

I used to have a set of these on a gravel bike. They worked really well 👍 I wouldn't use them on my road bike though.

[@thedistance1155]

Why is that?

[@defferdsensibility6498]

@@thedistance1155 Few reasons. In comparison to pneumatic tyres (inter tube) they are very uncomfortable to use you don't have the air cushion of the tyre evening out each small bumps and jolts. That and the weight, some roadies want to cut down on as much weight as possible so heavier tyres are a no go. Grip is also an factor but I don't zoom around like a mad man like most roadies love to. Personally I use solids on my roadbike as I use it for commuting BUT it's a sacrifice for comfort and some weight for peace of mind I'm not going to get a puncture

I am very thankful for this video, thank you!!!

[@SimpleDragon1328]

Didn't even know this was a thing. Cool.

Do you buy 700 * 23 C Road Bike Cycling Bicycle Solid Tire Fixie Bike pin option How do I find them

[@thedistance1155]

This solid tyre are made only modeled for 700x23c, so you can find it anywhere on tannus website

[@steve-bs3qp]

How much do these tyres weigh and what do to the performance of the bike I wonder

[@pope406]

380g according to the website. www.nipnip.co.uk/tannus-info

[@JogBird]

5:32 he broke a pin

[@bigbadboogie6842]

Something defentiely came off. Tool or pin

[@assadmoney]

I cant even clip one in with the tool provided. I get one side of the tyre in on an angle but cant manage to even clip in the other side.

[@mitchellsteindler]

why are the comments so hostile for this? Is this NOT how you fit a solid tire?

[@Cynyr]

Some more info on solid tires wouldn't be that out of place in the video as well. I had no idea that solid tires were a thing, and a quick google doesn't seem to turn up anything with the pins.

[@chuckhancock5805]

Mitchell Steindler This is the most compellingly chill video I have ever seen on a bike-related topic, and a topic that was unknown up until now. It’s like the video that fell to earth, from a glass smooth planet

[@truthovertribalism4038]

I would have preferred a video showing how the average person can do it themselves. This doesn't quite fit that description, and I'm pretty sure most people wanted that knowledge...

[@bigbadboogie6842]

It did, showed tool needes and how to? If you didn't get "how to" from video you should probably let a bike shop do it as your probably not as the guy said "technical enough". A loose or punctured front tire in the wrong moment is no fun. I just had my finger stitched up at the ER due to a instant blow out flat (snake bite flat or old fix got loose? Dokt know yet, cant work the rim with one hand :-p ), grabbing a fence with my main hand at the fall to avoid fence hitting my face. Luckily all tendons and nerves seemed fine, I had crazy luck as entire finger was slit open. Dont save pennies on safety ;-)

[@truthovertribalism4038]

@@bigbadboogie6842 I think we're both right. I have since become more knowledgeable on bikes. Most of what he showed can be done by yourself, but, after looking at the video again, I believe what through me off the first time was the using of that machine, which I'm sure most people don't have, and isn't sold cheaply at Target or Walmart . I know now that what he did by machine, can be done with tire levers. Because I watched many more videos, and installed similar tires on to a rim myself. I once heard something that stuck with me. To paraphrase, If you read something, and you are unclear, or confused, a word is present which you did not understand. I don't agree 100%, but , what I got from that was to backtrack my misunderstanding to my understandings. Note, and be aware of where and when things got confusing, then investigate. Using these principles, I can see anyone learning anything.

[@truthovertribalism4038]

@@bigbadboogie6842 I also agree with your comment on not being cheap on safety. Thank you.

Hey i just bought these tyres but no pins. What should i do now?

[@bigbadboogie6842]

Get the pins? :-)

Mine isn't made for pins, china company said they arr supposed to be super tight.

How were they? Safe?

A bit info as to what the product, purpose, benefits are would have been nice to hear.

[@trishakyrievanessa332]

Is the pin inluded with the tire!??

[@blainebickle1178]

hey does anyone know if a solid tire 26x4 fat tire or tube exists?

[@animequeen78]

I need these to ride my trike bc there's broken glass and thorns on the road.

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@redauwg911]

How much do these tyres weigh

[@satchico6120]

can i fit 700x23c to 700x25c

[@jimwagner6260]

Yes go to tannus armor to get your size

[@chuckhancock5805]

Could it be they are just making fun of the recent GCN tubeless tire video?

[@kriluck0ps456]

Tubeless or tubular?

[@conorverbruggen5133]

In Maadar Raassha, Tayah Rims You

[@BrianMcNay]

Why go with a solid tire vs a traditional tire?

[@justinw1765]

Some folks live in areas with high gnarly factor like many goathead thorns and the like, and punctures are very hard to avoid. Tubeless with good sealant can work decently as well, but this is even lower maintenance. I've trying to decide between tubeless with good sealant (like Orange brand) and the Tannus tires for my crap may hit the fan bike which will have a small gas motor on it (around 170 to 200 mpg after break in).

[@thedistance1155]

@@justinw1765 yeah, I think the difference in speed is really small, as long as youre not racing it will be not noticed. No puncture no more and more travel time and relax.

[@animequeen78]
