Good afternoon Richard,
Thanks for getting in touch, hopefully I can help!
If you have the Powertwin Pro model, (which also came with 5 spoke wheels) you can actually replace these with the 5 spoke wheels from the Jane Nomad.
However we would STRONGLY recommend against this, for two reasons. Firstly the solid tyres will provide nowhere near as much impact absorption, so the ride will feel noticably bumpier on the Powertwin Pro. More importantly however, while the brake cogs and axles are identical on the Nomad and Powertwin Pro the tyres themselves are quite a bit thinner (narrower) than the the air tyres that naturally come with it. This will (given the weight of the Powertwin Pro) cause the solid foam tyres from the Nomad to wear away very quickly when used on the Powertwin Pro.
If you are sick of punctures then we can certainly provide these, and they are a direct replacement to the ones on your Powertwin Pro currently, but please do be aware that these were not designed for it and will wear away more quickly than they would on the Nomad.
I hope that helps Richard!
Kind Regards,
Samuel Johnston Ltd.
