Review on ๐Ÿšฒ High-Quality 27x1-1/4 Bike Tire Set with Tube and Rim Strip for Optimum Performance by Jamar Gow

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good first impression Edit: It didn't take long

First Impressions 01/12/2020: I just installed these tires and tubes on my 1977 Schwinn World Sport. I'm pretty good with a wrench but by no means an expert or bike mechanic, most of my experience is on mountain bikes. These tires are pretty big for a size 27 and a quarter. I've read online that this reflects the lower factory quality, but they're more economical so I'll settle for that compromise. I didn't pay attention to one tire and it didn't fit well. A tire blew out when I was shot. The other tube was fine, but I made sure the extra length of the tire was actually inserted into the tire before I put it on. As for the lights, I would say they are pretty competitive for this price point. The tires are rated for a maximum pressure of 90psi and they actually look pretty cool on this vintage road bike. I set them at 80psi to give them a bit of wiggle room while I'm grappling with this brand. This is not my daily commute and the tires look very nice on vintage bikes. So for the price I can say that the first impression is basically positive. I'll add a full review after driving over 3 miles on these tires but that's a good first impression. Edit: These tires are rubbish in my opinion. As they say, "cheap is expensive." When I first pumped up these tires, they didn't fit right and burst while I was in the other room. I didn't pay enough attention to it, so I will own this part even if the tires are poorly finished. I took it on my second ride and by the end my tire was flat. I patched the inner tube (another brand that fit much better than this) but saw that my tire iron had scratched a hole in the sidewall. I'm not a bike expert, but I've changed a few bike tires and it's never happened to me. Reading other reviews this seems to be a common problem with these cheap tires shedding sidewall while driving. You look good, but I'd rather ride my bike than run alongside. I will stay away from this company and also recommend you. Maybe these tires suit you, but it seems quite risky to buy a very poor quality tire when others are only slightly more expensive.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
