Wheels and Tires

[Triskeliongirl]

So, are these 'good' tires (for road a bike)?? I might like to add some color to my bike, too. I really don't know the difference between 'good' tires, especially when it come to the road bike.

YES, these are *Very good* tires for a road bike. I bought them because they also come in 24" for a terry front wheel, and I just love them (although TE doesn't carry the 24" size, but both terry and schwalbe direct do). They are fast, roll real nice, and I have yet to puncture in ~1000 miles (watch, tomorrow will be the day........). They are easy to put on, and since they fold if you are on a trip its easy to pack a spare.

These look like fun, multicolored tires that blend and change color as you ride. someone on TE posted a pic of a bike with these. This link is for Rivendell.

That would be my bike.

The Speedblends are good sturdy tires and if your rims will support 27 mm tires, they are fun. People definitely notice them. I have ridden them on dirt and gravel roads, as well as on some easy single track.

Darn! They won't fit mine.

Rivendells are such beautiful bikes, too.
