Tires and tubes / Tires / Gravel and cyclo-cross tires

When choosing the right tires, the inner diameter of the tire and its width are important. The inner diameter of gravel and cyclocross tires is most often 700 mm (28 inches). You can choose from tires and tubes, which are available in different widths and with different tread patterns. With wider ones, you may be limited by the width of the rim or the space in the bike frame, so check the recommendations of the manufacturers of your components. For some products, you will find the TPI (thread count per inch). The higher the number, the lighter the tire and the lower rolling resistance, but it is also less durable. Tires may be suitable for tubeless, this information is listed with the product. To install the tube, you will need a special glue or double-sided adhesive tape designed for this use.
