Review on 🚲 Cheng Shin C241 Street Bicycle Tire (26 x 2.125, White Wall) - Durable Wire Bead Tire for Enhanced Performance! by Peter Nobles

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheng Shin White Wall 26x2.125

This was exactly the tire I was looking for. The tread and tire in the photo is exactly what arrived. Looks great! I would like to add that if you are a connoisseur like me, you will find this tire under the other name "Cycle Pro". The Cheng Shin logo is cast on the Cycle Pro tires as with the other tires. The prices are different but the tires are the same. I bought both brands from the same store (Revain via Niagra Cycle Inc.) to see if they differ so you don't have to wonder. I could call Niagra Cycle, Inc. through Revain and I'm sure they would tell me the same thing, but I'm an overnight shopper and buy when I'm ready to buy. With the Cycle Pro tire, the only noticeable difference (if you look closely) is that the dimension labeling on the sidewall of the ISNT tire is just as close as the Cheng Shin brand. Cycle Pro comes with a nice spiral wrap that keeps the sidewall light-colored during shipping. The tires are soft and supple for a smooth ride. I drive them in my old beach cruisers. Make sure your wings are big enough. They don't fit particularly well under mid-weight canopies. if they have screws instead of rivets on the wing struts.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Minor problems
