I found another 27" tire to try while waiting for this 700c fad to fade away.
I noticed that my Continental Ultra-Sport (or whatever the cheapest one is called) had started to develop a 'thump thump thump'. It was really bald and I had been waiting for that first hint of threads to show up...well, too bad, a thump means time to change.
I have put on a Michelin ProTek tire. It is pretty heavy, says that it's "ebike ready" so I'm guessing that's why.
The inflation range is 60-90 psi (rounding off the 'bar' numbers).
I've probably put about 40 to 50 miles on it so far and it seems fine.
It was made in Thailand, if I remember right...must be a French protectorate, eh?
It's 27 x 1-1/4 and I forget where it came from...somewhere mail order.
