Price Paid:  $92.00 at Westernbikeworks.com

Favorite Ride:
Grand Island NY

Bike Setup:
1999 cannandale

Summary:
I had a rear flat first time out. Ran over
a large crown staple with a very sharp point that any bike tire would have punctured. I logged 2500 miles on both tires and no addition flats. My route has lots of stones & glass and these tires have no large cuts and I would not change brand. Just put on 2008 model set with
even more protection and the ride is very smooth.

Strengths:
Flat free, smoot ride.

Weaknesses:
None

Price Paid:  $8.00 at Speed Goat

Bike Setup:
2003 Pegoretti Marcelo with Campy Record, FSA crankset, DT RR1.1 rims and White Industry hubs

Summary:
Good handling performance which inspired faster descents and cornering. My experience with this product is too recent to provide and in-depth review and have only mentioned a newly-discovered weakness.

Strengths:
Performance.

Weaknesses:
New Black Chili compound is not as resistant to cuts and abrasions as previous tire material and consequently can reduce product lifespan

Strengths:
sale price, light, no flats, supple and secure

Weaknesses:
none

Price Paid:  $30.00 at Nashbar

Favorite Ride:
L.A. River,Ca

Bike Setup:
1999 Trek 5200

Summary:
These tires flatted after 8 miles(with Spinskins liners)on a route which I logged about 1000 flat free miles on Specialized flakjacket(with Spinskins liners)tires. I then took the bus back home, took off the tires, and gave them to my friend.

Strengths:
Possibly the lightwieght but what good is lightwieght when you're flatted out. Flatted on first ride. My old tires were ridden on same route for 1000's miles with about 1 flat/2yrs.

Weaknesses:
Cost,unpredictable reliability.

Similar Products Used:
Continental Grand Prix, Specialized Flakjacket Cipollini Pro.
