Dave; I've been using the Kevlar Version 20 x 1 3/8 as a
front tire for quite some time. The one on the Giro has just about 2k miles
(I can let you know for sure, since you know I keep track
. I run mine at
110 pounds. So far no flats. I'll have to go back thru my logs for the
comet on my Vrex, I think I may have had one flat, probably a little less
miles.
You guys got a "press release" for the RARE Rally yet. I know there was a
date set, but there was a great deal of beer involved, so it's pretty hazy.
Looking forward to it
Denny
