Hi Everyone,
I am new to this site so hello!
I am currently living in Tanegashima, a small Japanese island. Cycling here is amazing however the lack of bike shops and experts means that I'm sometimes at a loss. I have been biking for several years but am a relative newcomer to the nuts and bolts of actually having to make repairs! Hehe.
Anyway, here is my problem. I ordered a Marin Mill Valley from England and it has been fab. However time has come for me to replace my tyres and inner-tubes having experienced a lot of punctures recently.
The bike originally came fitted with - Vittoria Zaffiro Folding, 700 x 28C, (with Kevlar Bead and Puncture Resistant Belt). I am looking for something similar, maybe a little more puncture resistant but not sacrificing on build quality or speed.
I will be buying on-line from Japanese stores which all tend to stock predominantly Panaracer and Continental gear. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good buy?
Thanks!!
