Bike Trainer Tire 700 x 25 c B’Twin

Just bought this and it’s exceptional value. I only use my trainer for a couple of cold months a year and don’t want to overspend on trainer accessories. The old trainer tire I had blew out so I was shopping for an inexpensive replacement. This folding bead tire has worked

just fine. Seems to offer similar grip to the blue outgoing tire to my thumb at least. It wanted to seat a bit crooked at first but rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle helped the beads go where they needed to. There’s still a little hop to it but I’m hoping that breaks in, and while the hop is visible I can’t actually feel or hear it on my Elite trainer. I think down at the ol’ Van Rysel factory QC must be done on Friday afternoons though it’s not way out of line for the price. Future me would certainly skip this and get the Decathlon wheel off trainer I looked at today in store, but for now to limit expenses this is a great solution.

This is one of the easiest tires I've installed in my 30 years of cycling. A quick spray of a water-and-soap mix makes the beads glide into the rim without any hassle. The rubber beds in quickly, and the traction is perfect for my Elite trainer. I’m not sure how long this tire

will last, but considering it costs only half as much as my previous training tire, it’s already a great value for the price.

Great value

Works well.
