Tacx Trainer Tire, 700c/23-mm

Very happy to have received this indoor trainer wheel on time. Not available from most websites.

J'ai longtemps hésité avant de passer à l'achat car je trouvais cela pénible d'avoir à changer le pneu juste pour faire du home trainer. Après avoir utilisé mon pneu normal sur une dizaine de session (Continental Grand Prix), j'ai vite compris que mon pneu s’abîmait très vite. J'ai donc pris ce pneu que j'ai monté sur une deuxième roue que je réserve désormais au home trainer et c'est parfait ! 1- l'adhérence est excellente et c'est beaucoup plus fluide 2- le bruit est nettement diminué (j'ai mis un tapis anti vibration + un tapis de gym sous le home trainer et toujours pas de plainte de mes voisins d'en dessous :-) ) 3- le pneu n'a pas l'air de s'abimer et je pense qu'il durera longtemps...

I used to use my old worn out tires on the I-Magic and wear them into oblivion to get everything but the oink out of them. However, they would slip and get bald spots and ride unevenly pretty fast and it made riding on the trainer less than stellar. I figured I would give the Tacx tire a chance, and it is much much better than the old tire discards. It is really grippy and yet durable, doesn't run hot, gives excellent traction and is more quiet. It rides with a lower frequency hum and gives a more 'road-like' feel because it's not slipping at all. I can't recommend the I-Magic (Fortius or the old one) from Tacx strongly enough, and this tire is a good one for those VR trainers. UPDATE 8/10/11 I've done many many miles on the trainer, and the tire just failed tonight. I think this is a lot of miles for the one tire, and shows it is as good as I espected or better. The current Amazon price of just over $30 is much better than the price I paid from Niagara cycle works when I got the first one. Definitely a great tire for indoor use on the trainer!

Básicamente, hace lo que se espera de ella. Obviamente, no vale para salir a rodar en exteriores (no la he probado, pero se ve que no es esa su finalidad), pero para el rodillo es perfecta. No he notado que se haya reducido el ruido con respecto a la cubierta normal, pero sí que parece que aguantará mucho tiempo. En mi caso, la tengo montada en otra rueda que uso exclusivamente para el rodillo. No se me pasaría por la cabeza la idea de andar cambiando las cubiertas según vaya a usar la bici en rodillo o en carretera.

Ottimo copertone di marca Tacx, indispensabile per praticare i rulli in tutta sicurezza, un copertone a lunga durata sui rulli, abbassa notevolmente il rumore praticato dal rullo se si compara a un copertone normale. Se avete una bici da corsa la scelta della taglia e la taglia "STANDARD" (700x23C). Il copertone viene spedito nel suo scatolo originale, imballaggio e spedizione perfetti garantiti da Amazon.

Thanks
