Le Anticipated Rubino Pro Tech Review

That was a fantastic post Volnix! 😄

This reply has nothing to do with resurfacing it. 😄

-Not Volnix

Indeed! A fantastic, informative, descriptive, concise, educational, historic and folkloric post, Volnix!

I laughed! I cried! I bought the over-priced popcorn with butter.

I nominate this post for the CF's Post Of The Century. It's beyond epic! Master Reviewers of bicycle tire user reviews will hold this post up above all others as an example of vulcanized brilliance and threads per inch honesty. The writing style will definitely be compared with that of Tolstoy. The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences will put you on the Red Carpet, in a Tuxedo with Jessica Alba on your arm, just for your ability to never once mention 25 MM tires have an almost measurable 0.582% lower rolling resistance than whatever last year's 23 MM super-tire had.

And for this, we all owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid in Euro's from Germany.

All women will like you and all men will want to be like you!

Cinematographers for decades to come will study your highly detailed pictures of cracks and fissures in hopes of emulating your compositional abilities and the skill at framing your subject for the close up shot. Even Cecil B. DeMille admires your camera angle work from his grave.

Lastly, we heartily thank you, Volnix, for not discussing the merits of the 'ride quality', the unsurpassed 'aero advantage' or the 'heightened grip in high speed turns or while descending through hairpin corners!!11!ONE! that required you to take Bravery Drugs just to exploit!'. This review nailed it all, without resorting to hype and re-worded ad copy!

Volnix...the man, the myth, the legend that reviewed Vittoria Rubino Pro's for the great unwashed masses!

We sincerely thank you for your efforts, as does all of mankind.

Yes yes yes... Writing tire reviews is thirsty work! 😄

As for these points which must definitely indicate that you don't ride over roadkill cats and deep puddles of water:

Ride quality: Its sh√t... The tires are hard. I never inflated them more then 110psi. I got used to them but they are not smoothing out anything. All rocks, cracks and road buzz is transferred lossless to your rear and hands.

Aero: Aero what? The 25s were not available.

Grip: its funny, because they 'feel' like they don't grip, but they do! Maybe the hard ride contributes to this. I never had a traction related spill because of them but I wouldn't tilt the bike too much with them either...

And now the best part:

They are discontinued! 😄 Vittoria now makes 3 kinds of winter all around 150tpi Tires! And they also have some mumbo jumbo tech about Freezing Temperatures!!! incorporated on them. 😄 (hope the Frost tire is not gonna be also rated to 140 psi. 😄 ) Frost Tires from Italy are also 23mm... It's the famous Italian "Frozen Elegance" fashion in Tires...

Coming soon:

Le Review Of the also discontinued San Marco Era Arrowhead Seat which our staff managed to score NOS for 30 euroz: 😄

Man...I HAD to come back to this thread! It's the only thread that's made ANY sort of sense on the topic of cycling since C60 and I repeatedly pointed out that Alf was acting like a moron in the UltraTorque thread.

One more post about 'smart' luggage, bamboo fenders, saddles that shred pants, muddy bikes in apartments, tubes with pinholes that might need patched, which Garmin does what, citrus degreasers that dissolved entire bicycles and I'm turning in my license and hanging up my cleats.

<sigh> There are days I mourn for the human race.

See what you Greeks did?!?! You guys and your 'CIVILIZATION' [censored]! Bah! The barbarians would have been a better roll of the dice.

Would someone please make a '[censored] Learns Bicycle Forum Posts Are All Made By BOTs' video? Steiner? Steiner?

This is supposed to be a response from that other Bob!

Don't give up on us, Bob! Granted, we are unwashed newbies, and I know we can be tiresome, but I for one think your posts are great reading. Your initial reply to Volnix in this thread made me laugh myself silly, and I sure need the medicine today. Thanks, man!

Bob
