Specialized turbo cotton tyre pressure
Moderator: robbosmans
i beleive sw cotton are the best tires made today. WARNING they do have quality control issues. i have had 2 tires 26mm delaminate . first one was warrantied. second one still waiting since it was purchased 2 years ago but only used late last year. the issue is the glued on rubber on the cotton carcass does not always hold .

Ok, I'm convinced. Just ordered a pair of Turbo Cotton Hell of the North Sagan Collection tires in 28mm, all black, I'm not a gum wall guy. Going to mount with vittoria latex tubes. I weigh 145lbs, will ride at 75/80 psi f/r. Looking forward to giving them a try.

So far not available in the US. The Sagan were released a coif years ago I believe, they can still be found if you look. Same tire as the Turbo Cotton Ltd.BadBoyR wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 7:56 pmYou can also get the turbo cotton in black. Turbo cotton ltdparleez1 wrote:Ok, I'm convinced.

Just want to chip in here, I've put about 3500km on a pair of turbo cottons in 3 months, and they have been phenomenal. Comfortable and sure-footed, and suprisingly resilient - I haven't had a single flat in this time on fairly poor roads. Far superior in every way to the GP5000 I was riding before, including puncture resilience (maybe I just got lucky?).
Unfortunately, both of the tyres have started to delaminate with the rear esp. bad. I've written to the shop I purchased them from about a warranty claim, let's see how that goes. It would be a shame to have this delamination be the end of them as there's plenty of rubber left on them and they have been great for me.

Specialized has a minimum tire pressure for this tire? Are you sure. I've never heard of such a thing. I would think pressure would be dictated by rim width, rider weight, and tire width.

We're about the same weight, OP, and I run my TCs at 75 psig on 21 mm internal width rims (Roval Alpinist CLX). That's with 26 mm tires. I'd say 95 is a bit high.

Check out the Roval website, it tells you what pressure to run a tire based on the Roval rim, tire width and your weight. For my weight using Alpinist CL wheel set, I run my 28mm TC tires with latex tubes at 65psi, great ride. So far over approximately two months of riding 4-5 days a week 20-40 mile rides I have had one flat, not bad.
Yeah, exactly. It's not tire-specific. More about the rim, rider weight, and tire width. The 95 psig number is just a suggested number.parleez1 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 12:30 amCheck out the Roval website, it tells you what pressure to run a tire based on the Roval rim, tire width and your weight.

My warranty claim was accepted for both tires - I haven't had a single flat so far and the tires look good (apart from the delamination), so I'm glad I got a good response on this.
For pressures, my total system weight is about 80kg, and I run 70-72 F and 75 R.
