I need new tyres for my Hybrid (700x35)
Postby Scrap » Sat Jul 30, 2011 10:30 am
I'm having all kinds of trouble finding replacement tyres for this bike.
Can anyone suggest a good bike shop in Brisbane city?

Can't see why such tyres are hard to get locally.... it'd have to be a pretty small, specialised store not to carry such a standard size or something close enough to it (~32-38mm).
Phone around if you want to save your shoe leather or petrol whilst the treadly is off the road

Ive tried a couple of bike shops around the area and was surprised with the lack of choice.
I was originally looking for a coloured tyre...but threw that idea in to the to hard basket.

So far so good after 500kms on the rear. And only $33 from CRC

I recently had to replace the tyres on my Hybrid .
I went to the LBS and got some Michelin Citys in 700x35C.
They were about $40ea and come with a reflective strip along the sidewall, much like the original Merida Speed40 tyres the bike came with.
They also had less knobbly tread and more of a smooth road tyre, but with deep water grooves which was more suitable for the riding I was doing.
They have great grip in the dry, and good braking grip in the wet, but when the road is damp/greasy, just be careful how hard you corner (goes without saying). Durability also seems good.
I noticed a pretty good gain in average speed to with the reduced rolling resistance.
Recommend these easily if your riding is on the asphalt.
