How to Get the Most out of Your Bike Tires for 2023, with Aaron from Maxxis

Listen Later

Aaron Chamberlain is the Bicycle Sales and Marketing Manager at Maxxis, one of the largest bicycle tire manufacturers in the world known for producing high quality products.

In this episode we ask:

  • Where are we at with bike tire widths? Clearly fat and plus tire adoption have peaked so are things looking pretty stable these days in terms of widths?
  • What are the considerations when choosing the right tire width, especially when there are so many choices? Will a tenth of an inch in width make a noticeable difference to anyone?
  • Do you think bike brands do a good job speccing tires on bikes? Do price and weight get prioritized over performance in some cases?
  • Which MTB tire features are a good fit for gravel?
  • Is it more difficult to design a gravel tire that’s both lightweight and fast and also durable?
  • Do any of the innovations in gravel tires have the potential to filter to MTB?
  • With access to pretty much any and every MTB tire you could want, how often do you change your tires: Seasonally? Every ride? Never?
  • One of the key specs when looking at tire casings is a number called TPI, threads per inch. What does that number tell us?
  • How does TPI work when there are multiple plies or casing layers involved?
  • What’s the best way to dispose of worn out bike tires?
  • What are some of the trends you’re seeing with pro gravity riders? Are there changes in the key things they’re looking for?
