Why Dublin Cyclists Choose It

From the cobbles of Grafton Street to the gravel sections of the Royal Canal Greenway, the Piedmont 622-50 provides confidence-inspiring traction and puncture protection. Commuters appreciate the smooth center tread for quick acceleration on city roads, while weekend tourers value the side knobs when venturing off pavement.

Usage Recommendations

Urban Commuting & Errands

Inflate to around 50 PSI for a smooth, fast ride on Dublin’s tarmac. The semi-slick center tread reduces rolling drag, and reflective sidewalls increase visibility at dawn or dusk. Ideal for daily rides to work, campus, or coffee stops.

Weekend Touring & Light Adventure

Lower pressure to 35–40 PSI when loaded with gear to improve comfort and traction on gravel paths or canal towpaths. The reinforced casing helps prevent punctures from thorns and sharp stones during longer tours through Wicklow or along coastal roads.

Mixed-Terrain & Gravel Paths

Use the shallow side knobs at 40–50 PSI to navigate light gravel trails or forest tracks without sacrificing too much speed. The tread pattern balances grip and efficiency, letting you roll confidently on mixed surfaces.

All-Weather Performance

Ireland’s weather can change quickly. The rubber compound maintains grip in both wet and dry conditions, and the reinforced nylon layer helps guard against cuts when riding over debris or wet roots. After rainy rides, wipe down the tread to remove mud and prolong wear.

Recommended Accessories & Complementary Items

• Inner Tube SV 40 mm: Pair with a 29" Presta-valve tube, such as Schwalbe SV 13J, for reliable air retention and puncture protection.
• Tire Levers: Strong but thin levers (e.g., Pedro’s Tire Levers) to help remove tight-fitting 50 mm tires without damaging rims.
• Mini Floor Pump: High-volume pump with 4.5 bar capability ensures easy inflation; frame-mounted is preferred for quick roadside fixes.
• Patch Kit: Carry a tire boot and patches for emergency repairs on long tours through remote areas of Counties Wicklow or Kerry.
• Reflective Valve Caps: Add a small reflective detail to the Presta valve, boosting side visibility on Dublin’s busy streets.
• Tire Sealant (Optional): For touring in particularly thorny areas, injecting sealant through a removable Presta valve core helps self-seal small punctures.

Tips & Tricks

• Proper Seating: When mounting, inflate slowly to 20 PSI first to seat the bead evenly, then complete to target pressure to avoid pinch flats.
• Check Compatibility: These tires are tube-only clinchers, not tubeless, so ensure rim tape and rim strip are in good condition before installation.
• Rotate Front/Rear: For even wear, swap front and rear tires every 1,000–1,500 km to extend overall tire life.
• Inspect Tread & Sidewall: After rides over rough terrain, check for cuts or embedded debris in the tread. Remove glass or thorns promptly to prevent punctures.
• Adjust Pressure by Load: Carrying panniers or heavy bags? Lower to 35 PSI for added comfort and traction. Light riders or solo commutes can run 60–65 PSI for fastest rolling.
• Store Properly: Keep spare tires in a cool, dark place away from UV light and ozone sources to prevent rubber degradation over time.
