    I've just discovered Tannus solid tyres and they have me intrigued. I like the puncture proof-ness and convenience that brings. I've read and watched quite a few reviews and am still on the fence as to purchase or not. Alot saying they're a right pain in the arse to fit, the videos I've seen make it seem handy enough - if a little tricky.

    So to the point, has anyone here fitted Tannus tyres to their bike and in particular a CUBE touring Bike. I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts.

    No experience but wouldn't they be very heavy? How much heavier would they be than Schwalbe Marathon Plus's with tubes - I run these and got my 1st puncture in 12k kms last week. Bitch to fit but I managed it roadside. I presume using slime I wouldn't have had to replace the tube at all?

    I have a set of tannus tyres already fitted to a pair of Shimano R501 wheels going if you are interested. They're sitting unused in my shed, so I'm open to offers

    I didn't fit them myself, the guy in DLB in did it for me. I didn't fancy taking the tyres off the wheels as I wasn't sure that I wouldn't damage one or both in doing so, so that's why I'm selling as a set
