Hi,
During my persuit for a good tire for my e-bike, which would be flat-proof but also wide enough, I come into many opinions and speculations.
I am now mostly debated between the Marathon plus tour which is truly flatless but is quite narrow (28x1.75inch), requiring you to go to high pressures, vs the Big apple 28x2.35 which is much more comfortable and seems more smart for the much higher weight load (160-170Kg for a heavy loaded touring bike including the rider, motors and battery) - but it's puncture resistance experience is debated.
I thought - Why not create a database here, where everyone can add their own tires and/or add their own numbers regarding existing tire.
We can create a table for each tire where the addeable entries would be:
- Kilometers between punctures
- Rear/Front tire and what was the weight load on it
- Riding conditions (Road, Gravel, Off road or a combinations of those)
- Average temperature and quality of the roads where you live
- Geometry: What was the actual tire width and it's diameter and which rim you used
- Replaced after how many Kilometers
What do you think?
This can be very useful, to all of us!
