Price Paid:  $30.00 at Colorado Cyclist

Favorite Ride:
wherever

Bike Setup:
GT Edge TT setup

Summary:
These tires pretty much suck. After gluing them up, I raced on them one time and had a horrible race because I was bouncing all over the place due to the lumps on both front and rear tires. I'm guessing this is because they were cheap tires and were manufactured as such, but they could have done a much better job. I'll probably just trash these and spend my money wisely for a better pair of tubulars.

Strengths:
they inflate

Weaknesses:
lumpy, especially at the higher PSI (near 140)

Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Classic road bike

Summary:
I noticed they replaced the old reviews, so let me be the first to tell you: This tire is cheap junk. If you want a well-made, long lasting and round tire, this ain't it! Conti makes these tires in Thailand, along with all the other junk tubulars. For maybe $5 more, a Tufo S22 is miles ahead. You can still find Sprinters for about $35 each at some places, which is a much better deal. Don't waste your money on thesetires-you can do much better.

Strengths:
Few. It works pretty good as a spare

Weaknesses:
Lumpy, can't hold over 130 psi, lumpy, wears out fast, and lumpy.

Similar Products Used:
Most other training tubulars
