    Greetings,

    I think that is the company's name for tyre protection, normally found in
    the form of a kevlar belt to cut down on punctures. Some tyres, like the
    Specialized Armadillos I ride on have this belt not only where the tyre
    meets the road, but from bead to bead. I've got to say I've had only one
    puncture on Armadillos, and have found they last well.

    T.T.F.N.

    Hi there,

    Can anyone explain what a skinwall on a tyre is? I'm thinking of
    buying a pair of Schwalbe City Jet tyres and they come without or
    without skinwall?

    Thanks,
    Steve.

    It's not. You're thinking of extra material at the *sidewalls*.
