Description
A super-fast road racing tire with great traction. No other tire matches the Mondo''s performance for low rolling resistance, wet and dry cornering performance, and puncture protection combined.

Price Paid:  $0.00 at Bicycles Plus

Favorite Ride:
Calistoga to Angwin

Bike Setup:
08 Tarmac expert

Summary:
I had 2,200+ miles on them before my first flat!!!!! I was amazed they were so flat resistant considering they roll so fast and are pretty light weight.

Strengths:
Flat resistant and fast.

Weaknesses:
I had the tire blow the bead at 120 psi while just getting underway for my daily ride . It is probably more Of a rim issue than a tire issue?

Price Paid:  $0.00 at Richardson Bikemart

Favorite Ride:
Anywhere in the Bay Area

Bike Setup:
Custom built carbon frame/fork, Ultegra SL gruppo with compact crank for the hills in Northern California rolling on bomb proof Ksyrium Equipe wheels for the fun weekend rides and centuries on the sometime rough Cali roads.

Summary:
These came stock on my Allez Elite and despite the other ratings I had not had any flats. But after almost a year ont he tire I did get a cut in the tread so instead of waiting for an issue to arise I replaced it even though I probably could have gotten away with it longer if I just slapped some Shoe Goo over it. But I'm over cautious at times so I just bought an Armadillo tire. I'd still recommend getting them if i hadn't gotten a deal on the Armadillo's.

Strengths:
Good rolling resistance, grippy enough for me.

Weaknesses:
Just like any tire it can get cuts from the road debris.

Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
The hills

Bike Setup:
Specialized Tarmac Elite 2008. Shimano 105 groupset.

Summary:
These came stock on my 08 Specialized Tarmac Elite. I had read reviews on here and was initially worried, but so far they have held up well. I've done about 750km so far without a flat. I make sure I have them at 120psi for each ride.

Strengths:
Nice feel. Fast. Handle well.

Weaknesses:
None so far, but some may become evident as I put more km's on them.
