Strengths: Very supple and a fantastic ride quality. On a velodrome track they feel superbWeaknesses: Limited life due to the lack of puncture protection and the supple nature of the tyre. The Supersonics are probably a better tyre technically but the Record have a handmade quality that is hard to beat.Bottom Line: Superb tyre but not suited to any roads that aren't less than perfect. However for track use they are prob. the nearest to using tubular tyres that you can get.

Strengths: FastWeaknesses: er...I can't think of anyBottom Line: Er..I'm not a road racer - I ride track and have used Records on most of my race wheels. They're supple enough for Keirins and scratch races, and easy to stick on. They're pretty durable as lnf as they're ridden on boards.

Strengths: Insanely fast tire. Rolls like silk combined with a latex tube. Very easy to mount and work with. Durability is fine for what this tire is about. This tire was 1st in several rolling resistance tests, so I wanted to try it, and i'm really happy I did. The only Crr tests I have seen that this tire is not #1 or #2 is tests that leave this tire off the list.Weaknesses: In my opinion........none.Bottom Line: Fastest tire bar none. Smooth rolling, just hums along. 1st tire that reminds me of the old clement silks. Use with a latex tube to get the fastest, most silky ride possible. Mounts with ease and a pleasure to work with. Noticeably faster than the Pro2's I was using, and I am very happy w/ those. Of course they will not last like armadillos but I have had no problems with these Records in terms of excess cuts or punctures. Just be mindfull of what debris is coming at you. Just common sense, just use that and you will be very happy about the durability, which suprised me.

Strengths: Once you get up to speed, they just keep going. There is almost no rolling resistance so they fly, in particular downhill. I would recommend these to anyone who wants to obliterate their TT PB'sWeaknesses: They cost £ 25.95 each and I was warned that they only last about 400 miles. That's ceratinly true. I have only ridden them on three occasions and the last time I punctured on the front (after the race) and the try will need to be replaced as it's split open.Bottom Line: I was recommended these tyres by Parker International who warned me that they were ultra fast and virtually disposable after a few rides. Well, they are certainly both. I took 2mins 30 secs off my 25M TT PB on first use and 57 secs off my 10M TT PB on second use (2 months later). Previously I have ridden Michelin Pro Race and Continental Attack / Force Tyres whilst Time Trialling.
