Price Paid:  $32.00 at Beyond Bikes

Favorite Ride:
Fast Dirt/Grass Courses

Bike Setup:
Felt F1x
SRAM Rival Groupo
Tektro CR720 brakes
Reynolds Ouzo Cross Forks
Reynolds Solitude Wheels

Summary:
Two Rides on these and three flats. I guess that really says it all. It is really too bad these do not have better puncture protection because I love the way they ride. They corner great, they roll really fast on hard and soft surfaces. They just really need a layer of puncture protection. I think it would be well worth the weight penalty. f it was not for the poor puncture protection I would give these 5 stars hands down.

Strengths:
Great handling. Super low rolling resistance. Just the right size for a cross tire. No mud retention.

Weaknesses:
HORRIBLE puncture protection. I have only ridden the very same courses I have been riding on other tires on for over a year. I don't think it is only due to chance. In addition to the three flats I have had while riding, my cross bike is hanging in the garage with two flats right now. Slow leaks somewhere. Really frustrating.

Price Paid:  $35.00 at Colonel's Bikes, Ft.

Favorite Ride:
many

Bike Setup:
Steel IF, Dura Ace, Ritchey wheels

Summary:
Best CX clincher I've tried yet. Corner like you're on pavement, especially on grass. Very low rolling resistance, very light (sub-300 grams). They wear quickly if you ride on pavement too much and flat a little more easily than Ritcheys, but I also found a lot of large glass shards on my CX course this season, so this could be justified

Strengths:
lightweight, excellent grip, roll efficiently

Weaknesses:
wear quickly, flats
