Puncture-proof tyres are a great option for added reliability when commuting or leisure riding.

Fixing a puncture is a pain at the best of times but is all the worse when you’re trying to get somewhere on time, or just wanting to enjoy a ride without the threat of deflation looming over you. Flats have a habit of happening when it's cold and wet too.

After winning the 2019 National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Biking Championships and claiming the plushie unicorn (true story), Stefan swapped the flat-bars for drop-bars and has never looked back. 


Since then, he’s earnt his 2ⁿᵈ cat racing licence in his first season racing as a third, completed the South Downs Double in under 20 hours and Everested in under 12.


But his favourite rides are multiday bikepacking trips, with all the huge amount of cycling tech and long days spent exploring new roads and trails - as well as histories and cultures. Most recently, he’s spent two weeks riding from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia
