Agattu tyres

[Jeff Mowatt]

I've been thinking of changing them since delivery. For some of the grit and stone tracks here in the Forest of Dean they're not entirely suited. I was a little disappointed on delivery that they were so narrow for such a sturdy bike.

Had an inner tube burst on me today on rough ground and I was wondering if anyone could advise on somethin more robust with more grip on the treads. I think the rims are 700c.

The toughest you can buy is a Schwalbe Marathon Plus although I like Continental Travel Contact as well. Both have about as good a punture protection as you can get (nothing is perfect mind!)

interesting stuff Frank - I've never heard of these nor had anyone reccomend them to me

Do you have any personal experience of how they roll compared to the Schwalbe ? OR perform in terms of grip ?

Only I find the grip on the M+ is not great on a wet road. Travel Contact much better and faster rolling (or so it seems) but not as bulletproof as the M+

As I do most of my biking on roads in the UK this makes the "wet road" my most used surface !

Thanks both,

There are several widths I notice with 700c tyres, going up to 40c. Can you tell me which is suitable for the Agattu and can a wider tyre fit the same rim?

Hi the rim to fit is called a 29er It is still 700 but much wider and the tyres are 29 X up to 2.25

According to the Kalkhoff website, the wheel size is 28" for this bike, a C8 Impulse HS That's all it says.

You can fit the wider 40 mm tyres to the present rim. A previous e-bike I had used 1.95" Kenda tyres on a 700c rim, and that's just about 50 mm. They gave no trouble or stability problems.

28" is an overall tyre diameter expression sometimes used, but it has little meaning, being just nominal.

I emailed 50cc about tyre sizes for my Agattu (an older model) a couple of years ago. They said "The size the bike comes with are 700 x 37c. But the rims will fit from a 700 x 32 up to a 700 x 45."

Thanks guys for the info,

As I was in the local town today I took the wheel with me and they found me a Kenda which was more suitable as an off road tyre. At 700 x 38c a little wider than the original.and surprising good uphill on damp grass I just discovered.
