We’ve seen solid bicycle tyres before, but never really been tempted to try them – but these from Tannus looked ALMOST normal in black, which made us wonder if they might feel normal, too.

They’ve convinced us to give some samples a try – we’ll update you. We did find we needed a second pair of hands when fitting them to a rim…  but we can deal with that since it’d be a once in a life-time fit with all risk of puncture removed.
