Whilst looking around at kids bikes I came across one that I noticed had an interesting looking tyre. The tyre was rebranded “Yosemite” (the bike sub-brand of the Nordic retailer Biltema, where I saw the bike). However, looking more carefully I noted that it was actually an Innova tyre with the pattern code IB-3014-01 listed on the side. The dimensions listed were 24x2.8 (70-507) and the inflation recommendations were between 15-30psi.
A little searching online and I found what I believe to be the tyre (Innova Pro Podium) based on my recollection of the tyre pattern. A couple of Innova pages provided a little more information about it: 60tpi, 785g, Folding, and with a “part number” of PO2428001.
Here is a picture I found of the 27.5 variant of the same tyre:
The tyre is closing in on the size of the Duro Wildlife / Razorback / Halo Contra but it is significantly lighter. Now my problem. As far as I can tell Biltema does not sell replacement tyres separately and I cannot find a source online.
So my questions.
Has anyone ever tried this tyre on a unicycle and if so how did you find it?
This might also be an interesting one for @rogeratunicycledotcom to see if they (UDC) can source as a potential alternative Muni tyre for their 24" unis.
P.S. If you get some and sell them, I will likely buy one off you.
A couple of other 24" fatter tyres I have come across, that would be ok for offroad:
Maxxis High Roller 24 x 2.5 1150g
Specialized Big Roller 24 x 2.8" 835g - some camber initally but improves or you get used to it
Kenda Slant Six 24 x 2.6" ~750g
P.S. I will take this opportunity to say thanks. I ordered a wheel build from UDC the other day and you completed it in one day and sent it the next. Very impressive, especially when I consider how busy you must be right now with new stock having just arrived. You and your team are amazing as always.
There is also the Kenda Kaos 24x 2.80 as an alternative
It is also very light, but also has thin side walls. It drives well. I classify it more as a cross tire than a downhill tire
I’ve been riding on a big roller for a few months now and by and large I like it. I wish the tread were more aggressive though. I had no problems with it up until November when the trails started to get covered with leaves and slick with mud. I’ve had a few falls now where the tire has just slipped out from under me. It’s not that annoying on flat ground, but on steep descents I’ve landed on my back a couple of times. Before that I was riding on a Vee Crown Gem and I think the big roller is more forgiving when riding over rough terrain.
Yeah it doesn’t look like the most aggressive tread but it’s a super cheap tyre compared to a lot of the alternatives (I guess it has to be to end up popular on kids bikes) so I’m sure I’ll find a used for it.
I did my first long muni ride on the Duro Leopard and I liked it a lot. It just seemed to pivot much easier than the big roller and seemed more controlled on drops and it also had noticeably better traction. There was one technical climb that I have completed many times in the past that I simply could not complete today. I’m.not sure if it was the tire or me that was at fault as I was exhausted by that point, but overall I’m liking this overweight tire.
