Higher tpi means that more thinner threads are used in the plies vs. fewer thicker threads. So higher TPI means thinner, more supple walls and (potentially) lower rolling resistance. Puncture resistance relates to tread compound, and any under tread layers and/or belts.

Thanks for this. This tire is the solution for me for long highway trips. The only thing is, from what you say, I might not like the handlingl This would be too bad, because with the factory tires I love the handling. The only way to know is to take a chance and put out the dough.

My bike rear wheel, 20x4 inch, has been removed a few times and it is a VERY tight fit and I am thinking of getting a tool that would enable me to widen/open the forks a little to facilitate an easier installation of the rear wheel.

Good idea to have 5-8 16-18” zip ties because the foldable beads will walk the tire off the rim as you walk the bike. With the tire tied in multiple places, the tire won’t walk off the rim. It does make fixing flat a lot easier on the trail!

Don't know of any tires that will do what you are asking. Tannus Armor is what I would suggest. See my video kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZN5lqhrXdGsmrQ.htmlsi=AqDyUk7puDPYlFci

As requested , thoughts on Tannus Armour tire inserts. Finally had the time to install the Origin 8 Supercells along with the Tannus Armour puncture protection foam inserts. A few short rides brings the following conclusions. First regarding the Origin 8s. I like the ride better than the Rads Juggernauts. They're quieter and smoother. Plus I like the look better. I did not experiance the self steer many have mentioned occured in their first 20 miles or so. When I switched out the tires I also added the Tannus Armour. Installation was easy on the second tire , the first being more difficult. I watched the Tannus utube install video before doing the second one. Following their advice helped alot. When all else fails , follow directions. As far as how Tannus affects the ride , my opinion's value is lessened by the fact that I swapped tires prior to install so my comparison isn't apples to apples. I like the ride of the new setup better , but can't say for sure which new component is responsible . What I can say is that I like the security of knowing that I now have a substancially less chance of a flat than without the Tannus. I had 2 rear wheel flats in 2 weeks on long rides in the Florida Keys in the spring that were not additions to my positive experiances of the day. Faced with dealing with the flats roadside in 90 degree weather with that direct Florida sun baking me into the asphalt I opted both times to call for transport to a bike shop for repair. The ride on the Overseas Highway , even in the heat is awsome as long as one can maintain speed and get the breeze. A forced stop , after exertion , is very unpleasent. After the second flat I started looking for protection , and decided to try the Supercell , Tannus combo. I'll be back at the Keys riding in less than a month , hopefully safe from flats.

Great video. When removing the rear wheel, I would recommend that you not remove the rear axel bolts completely from either side. They just need to be loosened. It keeps the the other parts from getting lost and actually aids when putting the wheel back on. You only need to remove the hex screw from the axle keeper. Also your fender support wire should not be attached to the axle keeper hex screw. There is another hole in the frame for the fender support wire. I just stumbled on your videos and I always learn something with each one. Keep up the good work.

@@e-BikeLife I think it's rather a question of safety. Most people begin riding bicycles at a young age. Then later in their lives, they will ride motorcycles on the streets. When (not if) an emergency happens and they need to brake hard, they will have the reflex of pulling the left lever, which will do absolutely nothing to slow them down as it is the clutch on the motorcycle. So, I think that common sense dictates which side the main brake should be on a bicycle. You can also check around the mountain bikes of experienced riders and you will see many of them have long ago switched the brake cables on their handlebar levers. I know what the government says, but do you really think that it does things for our own interest? Have they EVER done something that isn't ultimately for their own interest? I'm 68 by the way.
