AlanW Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 HERE Sean, These are the tyres we were discusing on Tuesday, so if you want a quality clincher that rides just like a tub, then these are the babys for you. Okay a bit on the expensive side, but the quality of the ride and the performance is worth the extra IMHO. Some shops are selling these at nearly £50 each so you have to buy them when you can at the right price, this is the right price!! Plus, there seemed some interest in the Park TB-2C Emergency Tyre Boots at the start of todays ride, Ribble also sell these - HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I was out yesterday and they were unable to deliver them, so its a trip up to the post office on Tuesday top collect them. All being well I'll be sporting them on Thursday's club run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well I rode them today for the first time. Started out in the dry and second half of my 100km ride was in the wet and I must say I was impressed how they handled on both conditions. Now if puncture resistance and longevity make the grade I could well have a new tyre of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 As I said at the time when we were discussing them, I have been using them for a couple of years and I am very impressed with them. Yes they do puncture but in my experience it is a seldom occurrence, they also suffer from minor cuts and nicks like most other tyres do. My advice and in particular during the winter months is to check once a week for such cuts, if any are present, then deflate the tyre and add a tiny spot of Superglue in the cut then pinch the tyre together. In truth its most probably utter overkill, but hey......it eases my obsessive mind. On another note, but I have just fitted a pair of the Vittoria Open Corsa CX tyres and Latex tubes to my best bike, from what I gather from various reports and reviews this combination should prove to be very fast and smooth.

Sean Barker Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Alan are you still on their alert me when they are available thingy? If so can you give me a heads up when they come back in at a good price again? I'm seriously impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Not a problem Sean, I have just a quick flick around the usual suspects and they are all out of stock and prices are very high with others. But I've set various e-mail alerts so I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
