26-inch, stiffest, Tannus tires installed on my trike handcycle: I used multiple Ty-Raps and two nylon cargo straps to further help stretch tire onto rim. Most Ty-Raps are usable again and again.

Hey.., turn on your radio, relax, and install them. 70-year-old, NFL-sized rider here with limited mobility.

Not so on any of my multiple owned tadpole trikes. Never outgrow a delta planform trike. Grow oldest on a delta planform trike.
Thank you, great review. My wife and I just had Tannus airless put all around on our HP Velotechnik Scorpion fx trikes. So far, have nothing but good things to say in the first 100 miles. We also added e-assist, so that more than makes up for any extra rolling resistance. We ride mostly on local rail trails, some paved, and some packed gravel. They really don't feel any different to us than our old pneumatic tires. Not having to worry about flats, or even checking the air is wonderful. We are in our 70's, and these changes have made a huge difference for us.
Thank you for the review! Maybe it was a break-in period that made you feel sticky in the first month. I read an article saying 'Tannus require a break-in period lasting between 50 and 70 miles, during which time they might have a “plasticky feel.” They explain that this process wears off the polymer used to break the tires free from the mold during manufacturing.
Good tip about putting some tape over the hole so water doesn't get in! I currently have Tannus tires on my old road bike, but I don't ride that bike in the rain so haven't encountered that problem. However, we're thinking of putting Tannus tires on our Bromptons, which we ride in all weather conditions, so we'll make sure to cover the hole! :)
I love Belmont lake, there is a beautiful trail from the southern end of the loop that goes to Southards pond and beyond to Argyle Lake and the Babylon train station.
I have got an eBike and got 2 punctures in 10 days on Marathon Plus tyres. OK... time to get those Tannus Armour inserts. Those gave me months of puncture-free riding... but today, even with those inserts in, I got a nail in the rear,. It took about 45 mins trying to find where it had punctured (I stupidly _removed_ the nail out of gut instinct, thus losing where the puncture was!) If I had not removed the nail then it would have been a 5 minute job to fix. I didn't even take the rear wheel off. That's the nice thing about having Marathon Plus and Tannus Armour - if you get a puncture, it has to be something so big, you're easily going to see it in the tyre (and/or hear it clicking each time the wheel turns) so repairing a puncture _without taking the wheel off_ is surprisingly easy, it can be done in 5 minutes. You fix it and wonder if you've done everything, it's that quick. Even so... I thought today, enough is enough! Even one puncture every 6 months is one too many and they are simply always going to happen on this heavy eBike, so I have ordered a 26"x1.75" Tannus Aither II Razor Blade tyre for the rear. Hope I can get it fitted without the pegs driving me mad! 😎
I use the airless tires by Tannus so I don't get any flats when I use those wheel sets. I pull nails and other sharp objects out of them almost every other week in my neighborhood.
@@BromptonFamilyTime The first time I pull a nail out of mine, I'll certainly have a little chuckle to myself 🙂It's the ultimate protection. I'm on an eBike so, the rolling resistance won't bother me so much, it also has a suspension seatpost (Suntour SP12 NCX) and fork so, the ride being a bit harsher probably won't have much effect. Win-win.
Thank you for this review. I just installed 16" Tannus solid tyres on my Aceoffix and was dismayed at the 30% rolling resistance. I am halfway through the break-in/wearing in period and cannot wait for the less strenuous rides. Unfortunately, I live in Singapore on the equator so it is perennially hot and humid! Hopefully that does not mean my rolling resistance is here to stay!
The rolling resistance is a bummer i know. I just installed mine on my 20 inch bike to work rig. Inclines feel more sluggish and the pedaling feels heavier.
@pharoahscurse How far have you ridden in them and what was your added rolling resistance percentage? I am REALLY hoping my wear in and the rolling resistance drops. If wearing in is only supposed to make it less rigid, then I am going to suffer even more! I actually would prefer more rigidity!
That is the downside of the Tannus tires. They do stick more in the hot weather. I have not had a flat tire since I switched to the Continental Urbans. Tannus tires are great if you are using them for short distances or a really bad area where flats occur often.
Thanks for the review. I've always considered Tannus tyres for my commuting Brompton to avoid punctures. Never thought of weight savings as a benefit though. So I did the math and unless you include a pump, spare tube & toolkit (all which I skip for my last mile commute rides), I found a weight penalty if I were to switch to Tannus tyres: · Tannus for Brompton (32-349), Weight = 310g · Schwalbe One (35-349) 173g + Schwalbe SV4 Inner Tube 85g + Rim Tape 18g = 276g total Not a lot really, but it does works out to 34g per tire or 68g for both wheels (excluding weight of Tannus insertion pins). I suppose that's why on the Tannus website, they qualify it by saying that "this tyre is lighter than *most* regular tyre setups" :)
I was using a lot of slime inside both tires so I definitely feel a difference in weight. I was using the extra thick tubes as well 😂 Any weight savings is nice on a small bike 👍🏼
From other review of Tannus tires on different bikes, I can say that 5000 miles life is valid for 28" tires, for Brompton 3000 miles is more realistic, since the small tire makes 1.75 more rotations to cover the same distance.
Hi Shu, Happy new year to you and your nice family! Been looking forward to this Tannus review because I've just bought a set for my Brompton electric conversion. I like to go fast (25mph) so am concerned about losing speed due to the rolling-resistance. After the situation in NYC, good to see you've put on your fender or mud-guard as we call them here in the UK. Another great video! Always look forward to your videos..."Alright". Take care. G.
@@BromptonFamilyTime The Sparticle electric conversion which I found provided the best performance in that it can get you up to 23mph on throttle alone; the Swytch kit, with a few tweaks, can get you upto about 18mph. Have a look at this video: ua-cam.com/video/U944yhA20Ak/v-deo.html
Great review. I've just ordered some of these tyres after my fourth puncture in a week. As for breaking a spoke, the spoke nipple remains in the rim so there's no need to take the tyre off to fit a new spoke. Just unscrew the broken spoke from the nipple and fit the new spoke in 👍
🧑🏼🦲 I was getting flats so often I sold my bike and stopped riding for awhile. I really love these tires. Not having to check my air pressure everyday and not having to carry a flat fix kit is so nice. 👍🏼
@@BromptonFamilyTime I can't wait for mine to arrive. I'm not looking forward to fitting them but I'm looking forward to riding them. Plus I think the pink is going to look awesome on my bike 😆👍
That's ingenious, I mean I never thought of it. As long as the nipple is at 12 O'Clock and you make sure not to accidentally poke it through and up into the rim then it will work 😛
Funny to see this, I’m originally from Long Island moved to Phoenix 3 years ago. I bought the new Marathon tan wall tires and was getting more flats than I was with the pluses. I put slime in the tubes and no flats so far.
I never had problems with them in the rain. They gripped fine. I have switched to the Continental Urban tires and they have been puncture free since. I would recomment trying the Urbans first. They seem to work well without sacrificing rolling resistance.
They are made by musguard. I cut it to length so I think you can use it on any bike as long as it has a similiar design. What bike is the 14"? Musguard is coming out with a redesign so look out for that well.
They are the 16" 349 size. I use them as my commuting tire wheel set. They will slow down the bike about 25% so I don't recommend them unless you need them like me. I have to ride in glass to work so I was getting a flat every week.
Did your baby kick the camera goodbye :) made me laugh. Anyway thank you for the video, important information for everyone about these solid tires from Tannus, guess they are not appropriate for Thailand's climate. Ride safe.
I think they should work. I have put them on four different wheel types so far and no problem. Just remember, they are about 20% slower so I only recommend them if you are prone to getting flats often. I switch my wheel sets often depending on the ride.
has anyone seen a rolling resistance/ambient temp chart for this tire? i live in a cooler climate area vs the tristate but am not willing to pay a 20% penalty in the summer. my summer is rarely over 26C (about 80F or so) when I ride. thanks.
If you don't get flats often, I would recommend the Continental Urban tires. I have been flat free for months on roads I use to get a flat every other week.
The Tannus comes off easily so I would install a new tire once the treads on the tire are gone. You can cut the Tannus tire and pull it off in less than a minute and replace it.

Hi, great video, have you ver ride under the rain? How is it? Any feedback on that ? Thanks
I never had problems with them in the rain. They gripped fine. I have switched to the Continental Urban tires and they have been puncture free since. I would recomment trying the Urbans first. They seem to work well without sacrificing rolling resistance.
Thanks for review...I wish to try this but unfortunately it's not available in my country. ...
I like the fender. Can this be used with a 14-inch wheel? I think there is probably no fender for the front wheel.

@@weekdaycycling It should work. That seems to be a popular bike. It looks pretty nice too
Does the long mudguard flap on your bike works? What brand is it? Thanks Joseph
I put it on before it rains and take it off if I know it won't rain that day. Works great.
Where día you get your stem? How it feels and looks. I'm a bit worried to change it to and aftermarket one
🧑🏼🦲 Don't buy it until you see my review! It is currently being sent back for repair/replacement 🥲 I will make my review once I get it resolved.
Hi again, now that you've both switched over to Tannus tyres, would you ever go back to normal pneumatic tyres (e.g. Schwalbes)?
I was thinking about buying a carbon wheel set that I would put Schwalbe Ones but that won't be for a long time. They cost so much money 🤣
Pls advise what is the model of the Tannus tyres? Can they fitted onto the P line n T line?

Hi man awesome video ,
I’ve a question,what would you do after 5000 mile?? You should buy a new whole wheel or just by new Tanus ?
The Tannus comes off easily so I would install a new tire once the treads on the tire are gone. You can cut the Tannus tire and pull it off in less than a minute and replace it.
