    Price Paid:  $35.00 at LBS

    Favorite Ride:
    High Sierra Century

    Bike Setup:
    Barcroft Dakota S. Ultegra drivetrain w/ Paul's thumbies shifters (sweet), Velocity Thracian wheelset.

    Summary:
    Great commuter/touring tire. The only flats I've ever had were running over 4" nails (twice) in 1/4 mile (box of nails fell off a truck or something). I've been using these tires for 4+ years, commuting 30 miles/day and on weekend recreational rides. No other flats than noted above. Runs over glass, star thistle, cactus spines without a problem.

    Strengths:
    Virtually flat free. I get about 5K miles out of each one. Can over-inflate to 110psi.

    Weaknesses:
    Heavy-ish. Would be noticeably slower if I only inflated them to the spec 90psi. Pricey.

    Similar Products Used:
