Hi
Bike - Malvern Start XCS1.0
Motor - Voilamart 1500W rear hub
Controller - Voilamart 35A (shunt modded to 45A)
Battery - 48V 20aH triangle
My Weight - 90kg
Riding - Commute 30km weekdays, mostly flat bitumen roads, some bumps on a few concrete pathways.
Original tyres were Hutchinson Rock
I replaced the front tyre with a Schwalbe Marathon Plus as I was concerned about getting a flat and looked great. Rode great for a while but then the wire reinforcing split out the side and caused a flat - twice - so I gave up on it. Waste of a nearly new AUD$75 tyre, still has the little rubber bits sticking out of it!
The rear Hutchinson Rock tyre has worn to canvas after about 1500km of commuting.
Looking for a set of replacement tyres for front and back
Some thoughts are:
Maxxis Detonator AUD$35 each
Maxxis Hookwork AUD$55 each
Schwalbe Big Apple $55 each
Any suggestions most welcome as need to order tyres really soon!
Thanks in advance
