Thanks for the review Martin. When the "old" Birdy (80psi non-Kevlar) tires were about to be discontinued here I bought a bunch ($10 each) because I thought...

I can not generalize, but the inner tube of my birdy was too thick. I had to get smaller inner tubes. Kind regards ... does anyone knows if the inner tube that...
Hi all, I have had lots of experience with the Stelvio - great tire, shame about the inevitable punctures. I don't agree about the Maxxis. I believe it isn't...

Our experience with the Maxxis has been excellent. Although it's a tough tyre, I think the rolling resistance is pretty good. We've never felt any need to...

Well, it's a cost/benefit analysis. Easiest/Cheapest weight in the total package is to get weight off the rider ;) As for the weight of the Birdy itself: 1....
Hi Bob, Thanks for the advice about the weight reduction. I was considering some kind of bike strap but I am not sure what to use. Regarding the Terry...
