Zipp unveil tubeless versions of the Tangente Speed tyre

More renowned for their high-end wheels, Zipp have committed further into the tyre market with 25mm and 28mm tubeless versions of the Tangente Speed

Zipp are claiming the lowest rolling resistance and best dry and overall cornering grip according to results from “testing in an independent lab”. Weights for the tyres are listed as 292g for the RT25 and 302g for the RT28.

18 of the best road tyres

Available in both 25mm and 28mm to “meet the preferences for wider tyres among today’s road riders”, the Tangente tubeless have a 127 TPI nylon casing and the ability to run lower tyre pressures for reduced risk of pinch flats – max pressure for the RT25 is 115PSI, and 100PSI for the RT28.

Zipp also say that you don’t have to use tyre levers for installation. The tread pattern is modelled on Zipp’s clincher versions of the Tangente Speed.

The RT25 will be available to buy in June 2017 and the RT28 in August 2017, with prices TBC as of yet.

To all cycling fans and up and coming pro cyclists. That is what happens when you follow a Deliveroo moped.

Yes. And some of those obscured number plates will be cloned.

The image you've used of a deliveroo rider could well be a legal bike. It's a geared ebike hub (which can't handle massive watts, due to plastic planetary gears). I'm not saying it's totally legal but it definitely could be. Anyone who can provide proof it is illegally modified is welcome to respond. Can't see a throttle or anything like that.

This is completely unacceptable. NSN Cycling Team just issued an apology and removed Watts from a race tomorrow. I wonder what was leading up to this incident. From my experience, sometimes a verbal provocation is very quiet and invisible. But nothing justifies this dangerous violence.

Mr Loo Pole. Famous for finding legal loopholes to excuse his clients on technical grounds. Fails to realise that speed limits are for motor vehicles. Cyclists are not breaking the speed limit, they are not motor vehicles. Simples.

Followed the wheel in front up the wrong road? Been there, done that, eh?

Calling somebody a C..t is a "nasty thing to do". No public order offence???

"the speed limit does apply to them" Well, sort of. But they shouldn't be being ridden at all in the first place, at any speed. Exceeding the speed limit is just an additional offence on top.
