Hello,
What are good tires/tubes for commuting? I have a mountain bike
and a hybrid that uses road tires. Therefore I need opinions on
both 26" and 700c ones.
My impression is, many big names like Continental, Michelin,
etc. are racer-orientated, "superlight" (flimsy?) and expensive. On
the other hand, I have never heard of Forte, Quality and am not
sure about the quality. I kind of like the Taiwanese brands like
Kenda, decent-quality and not so expensive.
Anyway my knowledge is limited and I would like to hear more
informed opinions. By the way, what are good mail order sources
for tires/tubes?
TIA.
Mike
