i've got into a habit on this channel of testing some really weird bike stuff today is no exception
i think this is the best one yet what is it well you got to open it and find out unboxing it's
youtube this isn't for me though presumably please not another one for me looking at these makes my
skin like crawl a bit metal bits in the hell entirely this fresh from amazon holy tires why
uh well because you would never get a puncture you wire the holes to create uh comfort the solid
tires that we tested before and they weren't very good they were uncomfortable because they
were solid whereas these they've built in comfort holes like you're getting crumpets yeah they make
you feel i don't think you can take them off they make you feel comfortable i i'm almost certain
that these are going to be as bone shaking what's it taste like yeah good yeah not like a crumpet
it helped my cook i had a tooth taken out literally two days ago
don't do anything strenuous no no no there's loads of uh there is no compliance no so these
are amazon special tubeless honeycomb tyres you can buy these for about 70 pounds each from amazon
that's where i ordered them from and i ordered red ones and then they emailed me saying we don't have
that color anymore we've upgraded them and made them better have these ones instead so i said yeah
that's fine they took about four weeks to arrive and today's video is going to be installing and
riding them of course they have all the same benefits as solid tires do for example never
having a puncher ever last time we tested solid tyres on this channel we put them on my race bike
and unfortunately they didn't ride very well it's the coolest bike i own how did you even carry this
over super strong i've been doing press-ups how many things in a way you need a big studio francis
yeah we should organize that 90s scott sawtooth really cool mountain bike hasn't been ridden
since i installed these tyres actually but now is an excuse to ride it i don't remember the last
time that i needed spanners to take a wheel now last time we installed solid tires on this channel
it was quite difficult we ended up having to go to the bike shop because it was more than a one-man
job i have jimmy here hopefully we won't have to go the bike shop today they've given us some
metal tyre levers and uh i think pre-stretching these might be
a good tactic you basically have to stretch them onto the wheel and then the inner of the
tire should just sit in the channel where your uh where the bead of your normal tire would
hi we need your help so can you put that tire on that wheel
these are an absolute can i be honest with you no that is the map
jimmy's halfway there there is not a chance this is going on that's taken 20 minutes to do to
almost do what 10 centimeters and that doesn't even factor in how much short the tire is from and
contrary to your oh it adds comfort there is no given this at all have some faith we'd be better
off cutting that whole track off and gluing them on i'm like the world's strongest man under jordy
just feel all me inner northern coming back after that trip to london keep rolling rolling
i've got it i'm pushing it down to it down sideways all right i'll pop it oh
and the beauty is because it's a front just switching right
it's on backwards yeah and we managed to put that one that is backwards you
can just see how well it's the barrier so you want more grip so the direction we've
we should taken the rim tape off and then it would have been even easier was the hammering working no
all you need is just put them on the bait and just get someone really heavy
ride them in nick i was thinking heavier like big daddy or someone
like that who's been who's big daddy who's big probably show me edge here
is that working you should see what you look like
no need to come off they come off i've just been sat next to the sweatiest scotchman on
the tree and like stung all the way back from london sure it wasn't you i had to get topless
my watch said have a have a restful day
just call me the world champion of putting solitaires on rims did you say honeycomb
where's the honeycomb no it's just circles cut in isn't it they've just drilled holes on the side
it's a tennis tire we're just holes drilled in it i can't believe you paid 70 pound each of
them i certainly feel like you've been robbed so once you've stretched the tires onto the rim
unfortunately half of it will probably still be off so you have this metal tool
it's kind of shaped like a tire lever probably not ideal that it's made of metal because it's
damaging the rim very slightly and you push the channel into the wheel
round and round very slowly one hour later i've got the world's biggest blister on me finger
why didn't you just actually stop i've got i've gotta ask myself why have i done this why have
i done this to myself to get solid rubber tires any mechanical problem tony finds them and just
fixes stuff he can't not let he's still going i don't know why are you doing that actually hurting
right i'm doing i'm going for him this is why he's such a good bike racer isn't it he's like oh this
hurts i'll just keep going oh my leg's hanging off he's still doing it what are you doing put it down
i know it's like it's but just you know you have been defeated
at least with the tannis tires the ones we used before there was peace of mind
because of all the little plastic inserts it locks it into the wheel
here you think there's nothing well yeah i feel like it's going to roll off
there's no way it's going to happen i think as you ride them they're getting more stuck in there
they feel exactly the same as the completely solid ones the comfort circles
the comfort circles do nothing it's a nice idea though
like they should make a difference but they don't this guy just getting out of his car
now and the tyres have not seated at all they're still
not true so they're wobbling around everywhere maybe a bit of like bouncing it's such a hard
compound i think that's the mistake they've made surely with all these holes it should
be more comfortable and presumably what they're made of is so solid that even with holes in it
it's still solid they were never going to be a good option i'm sorry francis they just weren't
to me that is a lot more comfortable than the tennis ties that emma used to have that was
hideous as soon as you even corner slightly it feels like the bike's
going to fall over it's very odd it's really weird is it because they're so
flat i don't know what it is but for some reason then you're engaging the side of the tire which is
where the holes are like thinnest i mean it's a nice idea
you can hear them why does it feel like they're gonna fall off we highlighted in the last time
we tried solid tires there is a perfect use case for these granted set of gator skins or something
really really with loads of puncher protection is a decent option as well but if you absolutely
cannot afford to punch her for example emily jimmy's partner she used to commute through london
at four o'clock in the morning from her work and she didn't want to have to stop by the side of the
road for safety reasons in that situation solid tires were a pretty good choice these have all of
the same benefits and they also have comfort holes i guess the conclusion here is that i wouldn't
recommend them because of the mounting one being really really annoying takes ages took three of
us to get them both mounted and a couple of hours of like sticking the little tool in the side two
they feel like they're going to fall off if you corner on them and that's not confidence inspiring
at all the tannis tires have little plastic inserts which will lock them into the rims these
don't amazon special tyres thumbs down that's terrifying and that was just going to circle
