Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
I had the "Pro" version of these tires, and the only thing you will become Pro in with these tire is FIXING FLATS!!! Seriously, in my first 70miles I got 3 flats. I immediately took these off my wheels and returned them and got me some Vredestein's!!! I LOVE those, I was never sure what "supple" meant until I rode my Vredestein Fortezza Tricomps. :)
They actually are very light and quick, but when you factor in the time you will spend fixing flats they become VERY slow.
Strengths:
Very fast and light with low rolling resistance. I felt an immediate improvement in my speed. Make great christmas gifts for your "worst" biking enemies and competition!! ;-) You can watch them speed ahead (due to their lightness) with the quiet confidence that you will soon be passing them on the side of the road while they're fixing a flat!!! Weaknesses:
Flat like nobody's business. Seriously, 3 flats in my first 70miles? C'mon. Similar Products Used:
Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp, Forte GT2 Kevlar, Michelin Dynamic.

Mountain backroads Bike Setup:
DeRosa Idol with DT Swiss Mon Chasseral wheelset. Summary:
Expect a flat tire every 50 miles. Plain and simple. Use these if you want an excuse to fondle your wheels frequently. Strengths:
They ride nice when they are not flat. 150 lb per sq in capacity. Weaknesses:
The weakness is that the casing is weak. Similar Products Used:
Vittoria Open Corsa. Much better results.
