PanaracerPasela Road Tire 27 Inch(Return to Product Page)

Since the industry changed to 700c tires, I have had some trouble finding good quality 27 tires. These are the best I have had in years! Highly recommended.

This tire has decent enough flat protection for the money. One of the few 27x1 tires around and this rolls easier and faster than the grippy 27X1 14 I was riding on.

I mounted them on an '83 Trek 500. I like the way they roll

For the non-competitive cyclist, these tires give you everything you need - relatively light, very smooth ride, quality construction and materials and all at a fair price. These tires are fast even though they are relatively wide. Great if you occasionally venture on to gravel roads. They are perfect for older ten-speeds and other vintage bikes as they ride very well and have the correct look. I have tried many tires on my 1980s touring bike and these are, by far, the best. However, be warned that they are true to size. The 1 14 really measures 1 14 wide. Most 1 14 and 1 18 tires are smaller than the stated size. I have not flatted but then I very rarely do. If you worry a lot about flats, you might try the tourguard version or replace them before they are worn to the cords.

Have a Miyata 610 touring bike from the 80's and my rides are along city streets with their bumps and potholes. I am an occasional rider and didn't want to spend a lot and these tires do the job nicely.

The tires are installed on a Cannondale. They were easy to install and so far have not gone flat. It helps to change the inner tubes at the same time when you change the tires for best performance.

Somewhat soft ride (I wouldn't use em on my CF road bike)but for all around cycling (wet or dry roadway to crushed stone )these are a fantastic value.

Good puncture resistance

Great loaded touring tire.

About the only kevlar bead tire available in the 27 sizing.

These tires fit my 27 rims perfect. They ride smooth and road debris don't stick to them. Very good tire for the money.

This tire is amazing no flats yet and tire still looks brand new after 200 miles!!!

I put 27 x 1 14's on my mid-1980's Peugoet and really like them. They are comfortable and the rolling resistance seems pretty low. I ride Vittorio Pro's on my good road bike, and, for how I use the Peugeot, I like these just as well. I have about 200 miles on the tires so far and highly recommend them.

I bought these tires for my vintage Raleigh road bike which I use primarily for commuting. They look great, and have a nice smooth ride and enough grip for slippery roadswet conditions. I would highly recommend them to anyone riding in these conditions.

I use the Panaracers on my street bike. I like the brown sidewalls, the narrow profile, and the tough tread, smooth on top and rough on the sides. I like the looks of the one-inch size, but they are tough to stretch over the side of the wheel when installing. One failed, probably because of tearing during installation on the rim. I replaced it with a one-and-an-eighth, which I use on the rear wheel.

Installed on an old school racer

Nice tread, grips well for street use. Using them on my hand-built frame bike from the '80s for general rides around town. Fairly lightweight for a 27x1 tire.

Best darn tires I ever bought. And, the service is excellent.

I bought a set of rigida rims for a Motobecane I was building and they had this same tire on them. After riding on them I love them. they handle and wear well, for me thats a plus as I am well over 6 foot at 270 lbs. Thats why I bought two more sets for my other bikes and will buy again as long as there is a supply.

My wife got these tires for me this Christmas for my 1986 cannondale road bike with Shimano wheel set. Trying to find quality 27 tires is getting more and more difficult but these tires exceed the original and replacement Michelins I just replaced. The bead fit was very tight (good thing) and the 105 pressure rating on the side wall is accurate. I took a 15 mile ride on 110psi (I like speed over comfort) and the ride was still amazingly comfortable. Knowing that 27 tires are a dying breed, my wife got me 2 extra for future use. I am so glad she did.

Also the gumwall sidewall gives my cannondale the classic look it so well deserves and came with.

Now if only I can find 27 wheels that are of good build quality instead of the K-Mart quality 27 wheels that only seem to be left to buy.

after reading your reviews, I bought the tires from a bike shop in san pedro (support local business) in CA on a special order. Normally I buy from you or Rivendell, like my Schwalbe tires for my touring bicycles, because they are bullet proof. I put the Panaracer Pasela 27 18 tires my recently restored 80's Nishjkj custom sport. My tires came in blackwalls which I wanted in brackwalls like your picture. However, I rode the bicycle for an hour on sunday and they lived up to your reviews. I rememeber Rivendell Bicycle use to carry those tires Yes, I would buy those tires again. Does the tire still come in brownwalls? This bike is the only one with 27 inch wheels, the others are 700-25 thru 700-40.

You have the lowest prices for your tires.

I've put 600 miles on this set so far. I've ridden on country and city roads, highways, bike lanes, on and off ramps with no flats. The ride quality is far superior to the Kendas that were on my old Schwinn World Sport. Right now I am using the 1 14 version, but look forward to trying the 1.

I bought the 1 version and my bike is a whole new riding experience. Rolling resistance is extremely low at the maximum pressure of 115 lbs. and after 850 miles in just under 3 months, the front tire is showing no wear at all, and I am seeing only marginal wear on the rear. My greatest concern about these tires is that the manufacturer will stop making them as the market for 27 tires slows to a trickle. It could be just dumb luck, but I have had no flats since installing these tires. I usually pick up glass and go flat every 2-3 weeks.

The 27x1 is perfect for slimming down a bike with old straight-edge 27s. Its a 25.5mm tire that fits nicely on Araya rims marked 1 14 used on old Schwinns, etc.

Handles rough post-apocalypse Philly roads just fine. I might not start out with this tire, but everyone that's already comfortable on an older bike with 27s should buy a set.
