Worn Out Tyres on My Bülk Velomobile?

I'm getting redy for commuting by a velomobile after a long time. So it's better to change tyres and do some other things to make my Bülk velomobile ready.
This Bülk velomobile is now mine. I bought it from Velomobileworlk.com.

I always put max pressure, which is 8 bar on mine. Helps with avoiding punctures.

@Surestick88 13 дней назад

Does it though? Higher pressure = more pressure on the ground in the contact patch = more force trying to push sharp objects through the tires. Rolling resistance is going to be higher with overinflated tires as well.

@rhein228 13 дней назад

@@Surestick888 bar is not over-inflated on Schwalbe One but the recommended maximum pressure. You may be right theoretically, but my empirical evidence appears to support my approach. On the current set of tires which I mounted a year ago or about 10 k km I have not had a flat. The previous set was similar.

Awesome to see you still using the Tyre Glider 😊 nice to see you back on channel too

Nice to see you post again. Schwalbe one is terrible quick wearing. Better use Continental Contact Urban next time. Very low rolling resistance, great grip in wet conditions and very low wear. I did about 4500km on a set of 40-406 on my Quest XS and they are still fine. Still have to try the 32-406.

@pg5200 13 дней назад

I have 32-406 Contact Urban on my DF front wheels. The first set made more than 10000 km, I replaced them (for the same ones !) after the first puncture but they weren't even worn down to the thread yet ^^ Very good tyres indeed.

Nice to see you again! If you habe a luggage-compartment on the left side of the rear wheel you can store shoes or sandales there and you can still use your powermeter-pedals

@TheVelomobileChannel 14 дней назад

Yes I know. There is room for luggage behind the seat, but it’s inconvienient to carry extra shoes and I’m lazy 😅🤷‍♂️

@Guenther-Eichinger 14 дней назад

@@TheVelomobileChannel I‘m allways changing shoes because my cleats have no rubber so they are very slippery and I don‘t want to ruin my shoes.

@tillmannfischer 14 дней назад

@@Guenther-Eichinger Same here, I just wear whatever shoes I want and have decently slim road-bike shoes lying around in my VM. Funny thing is, even when I got some spare parts stolen out of the luggage compartment, my shoes were left untouched. :D

@tillmannfischer 14 дней назад

2,300 km seems to be okay for 406-size tyres - smaller tyres are often made from softer rubber in order to get decent grip at the typically higher RPM they have to run at (which is even more true for a VM), so they wear out quicker than their larger-diameter counterparts. Which you will notice when looking at the rear wheel of your Bülk. :D By the way, I switched from the tubeless set-up installed by the previous owner with Schwalbe Pro One Record Edition tyres on my W9 to Schwalbe One with normal butyl tubes, and there is a noticeable difference in speed (although it doesn't bother me that much, because the W9 is still plenty fast). As the Bülk is also a very fast VM, I'd consider Schwalbe Pro One Super Race tyres, if you can get them on sale. Puncture resistance should be mostly similar, but the POSR ought to run with much less resistance. Apparently, people have been running them with tubes just fine, despite them being meant for tubeless setups. How hot do Finish summers get (and how humid)? If I use the hood in summer here in Germany, I feel like I'm in a steam-bath, so I just accept that I get a wet upper body when it rains. My legs and feet stay dry, and my upper body is wet with sweat anyhow, so why bother protecting my head from rain...

@devasfpv2232 14 дней назад

Hmm 2300 km seems to be not that much. I run a Pro One Super Race as Front tires and they where worn out at around 3500 km after I had to do 2 emergency breakings with blocking tires. And I'm a quite heavy rider with my 100 kg in my DF XL. Maybe checking your alignment is not a bad idea. Drive safe while commuting! 🙂

@hubertschabel7191 14 дней назад

I also experienced quick tire wear on my Bülk. I ride Schwalbe Pro One in tubeless, they lasted around 2800 km. When the tirewear gets to a certain point, you suddenly have a lot of punctures and they won't seal completly with the milk. On the rear I ride a Schwalbe Pro One in 32-622, no single incident and no excessive wear.

@mnveloguy 14 дней назад

@@hubertschabel7191 that’s pretty normal wear for Pro Ones. They’re quite thin, especially the ones prior to the new super race.

@mnveloguy 14 дней назад

@@hubertschabel7191 yes. It all depends what type of riding experience you want. I am personally not so worried about getting the highest level of performance. I mostly use my velomobile to commute. For me it is very important to have reliable tires so I use contact urban in the front. These are fast enough for me and very reliable. Everyone has their own priorities and that is ok.

Check the manufacture date on the tires. At least one of my clients had a set of schwalbe one tires with build date of 2021 which was 3 years old tire on his new velomobile. It is possible the factory had some older tires that were installed.

@TheVelomobileChannel 14 дней назад

Good point. That’s one possibility.

@tillmannfischer 14 дней назад

Schwalbe didn't really change the One tyres since 2021, though. So if these tyres were stored properly, they shouldn't have aged much or at all since then. And aging tyres get harder, not softer, so they should actually last longer in usage - I wouldn't recommend that, though, because grip and especially wet grip and grip on cold surfaces suffers massively after a certain point (we're talking something like 10 years of bad storage!), having a huge impact on braking distances. Especially with tyres as slim as in this case, although you can notice the difference even with car tyres. On that matter, funny anecdote: I used to drive a Mia Electric (cute, little, french electric car), and the original tyres were really old when I got it. After I switched to new tyres, my maximum range actually got down, because the new tyres were properly soft and flexible. :D

@mnveloguy 14 дней назад

@@tillmannfischer according to Specilaized tires if stored properly last for about 3-6. If exposed to extreme temperatures, UV, humidity, etc they can degrade much more quickly. This according to testing done by Specialized. Whether they rot or become more brittle and hard depends on the storage conditions.

Worn out of front Schwalbe Pro one after 2300 km is normal. I use them on my Milan GT for years now and none of them as ever survive 3000 km.

@TheVelomobileChannel 14 дней назад

There’s few issues with the Bülk wiper. First, it does ok work, but it’s not perfect. It leaves some water behind. But it still increases the visibility considerably. Second, there’s a gap at the bottom of the visor and some water splashes to the inside surface of the visor. The problem is worse the heavier the rain is. You can’t do much about the first problem, because of the curvature of the visor. Maybe try to source better quality rubber for the wiper. For the second problem you could try to block the gap under the visor. I havent got around to try it yet. I should try it because it might solve some other problems as well 🤔

@mnveloguy 13 дней назад

@@TheVelomobileChannelthe gap under the visor is there to let the air flow to clear the visor. Now with the visor insert that shouldn’t be needed so much. The wiper from Velomobil-SH I think works better. It fits the shape of the visor better.
