tyre resistance vs weight
Moderator: robbosmans
hi there.
I need put tyres on my 26" rims to make them a bit faster for the road.
I notice two similar tread tyres by schwalbe that might work.
However the weight difference is quite dramatic.
(2 x 60g)120 grams heavier for the PRO ONE..
I wonder which would be a better tyre for overall riding?
Thanks for any help, here are some specs and pics
-------------------------------------- >
Schwalbe one = 26 x 1.0 (inch) weight 215g resistance slightly higher
schwalbe 'pro' one = 26 x 1.1 (inch) weight 275g resistance slightly lower
The site is not clear by how much the resistance is relative to each tyre.

Look at the psi ratings for the tires.. 85-130 vs 55-95. That should tell the story of best overall ride quality. Lower psi means softer ride.
Pro One is tubeless... can be a challenge to mount ... not really difficult using a tire lever. Can be run w tubes.. which negates it's ride quality advantage.
Then goes to your weight and rim style.. a lighter rider could do 80's in the One on the rear and a mite less psi front. A reminder running rubber near low threshold means close monitoring of psi prior to the ride.

thanks
i weigh about 70kg? 11 stone.
Yes , I only just noticed the PRO ONE is tubeless. I could not find where it said tubes were o.k.
I have always used innertubes. so im kind of leaning toward the normal ONE version at the moment.
but i would like a lower pressure tyre.
i found a good innertube, a Continental Race Supersonic 26 Inner Tube 650x18/25 SV36mm at around 45g.

Carrying a tube is standard for many running tubeless... no issue using tubes w tubeless. Roadside flats are difficult w the Pro One ..not your choice running tubes.qwpy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 31, 2018 2:36 pm

I'd look for some feedbacks on the inner tube choice.

i was thinking to get a pro one for the rear and a standard One for the front.
but someone said using a tube in a Pro tubless tyre would not be so good for the ride.
So I think i may as well go for 2 x standard Schwalbe One's and upgrade my gears to 48/36/26.
unless anyone thinks a Pro tyre with an inner tube would be better than a standard Scwalbe One?
