    Does anybody have any decent road tyres spare 700x25 or 700x28?

    I've a set of Specialized Turbo Pro road tyres in 700x26c as described here.

    They're pretty much as new as I used them for a couple of spins before changing to a wider 30c tyre. I've a few sets of these tyres and they're light and grippy but with a soft rubber that cuts up quite easily. It's mainly cosmetic as the puncture layer underneath seems to stop anything getting through.

    €40 for the pair including postage.

    Not sure what your budget is but I have a set of Conti GP5000’s 25mm that have been fitted on wheels but never ridden. Only realised after fitting that I would get 28s on which would suit me better.

    Price is 60 euro collected (south Dublin). Price is firm as I will just keep and ride em otherwise. I know it’s not that much of a discount from online price so no worries if doesn’t suit.

    Cool. Full disclosure I took the bike for its first spin yesterday evening. Literally 2 km around the estate to check the indexing. Still as good as new but I will share some photos via pm and you can decide if you still want to go ahead.

    Work away. I'm in Wexford so would be too far for me

    I have a pair of Schwalbe One V-Guard Evolution Folding tyre 700c x 25mm with tan walls.

    I installed these and took them off straight away as they looked too narrow so practically new. (The bike had 35mm tyres before this, finally I settled on the 32mm from the old bike). I really wanted the tan walls but 25mm is too narrow coming from 35/32mm tyres.

    I recall paying around £50 including shipping - so €60 for the pair? Based in Drogheda.
