Are Gatorskins slow and mushy like GP4000's?... actually I reckon Force/Attacks are even mushier, makes me wonder about getting any more Contis.Jono L said:Go the gatorskins. OR the vittoria evo's.

AAAAH!! AGREE-EE-EE!! They are ****!! I can't believe people like them. One of the reviewers in Pro Cycling UK (Chris Boardman or Marcel Wust) said they were nothing more than an average training tyre.flipper said:I reckon Force/Attacks are even mushier, makes me wonder about getting any more Contis.
ok, you're the marathon man; what's the best way to get down the Dromana kinda area? I ran out of bike lane on Nepean Hwy just before Mornington, so I went to the Esplande on the beach, but just out of Mornington it's shitty and unsealed! At that stage I'd done 55km, so I just turned around.Jono L said:Go the gatorskins.....
yeah, get the Michelins; me and a mate get them off some dude on Aus Ebay for about $90 a pair. I get them through my mate, so I don't know who the seller is.flipper said:Anyone noticed that PBK is getting low on a few different tyres (all out of a few PR2 colours) and there are a few Aussie blokes selling them on eBay for only a couple of bucks more than PBK?
Wasn't he going to Vegas??jock.c said:Speaking of which, where is pshaw?

I haven't had any of the Diamentes (spelling???), but the slick EVOs (Corsa KS), I reckon are grouse.parawolf said:. Not sure what product though.
I'm a friend of lawyer acid burning, does that count?bbp said:I need to work on my debating skills
some of those lawyers kicked my **** with my defense of cultural relativism.
Who knew I was a friend of Taliban wife acid burning?
I certainly didn't.

Gators are great. Ridden on plenty of dirt/gravel on mine (they are on my old roadie) at least 5000 and no punctures and plenty more k's to go.parawolf said:Gatorskins are heavy hard. They feel REAL sluggish.
Ahh, the old Maxxis Detonators. Aptly named. They are a perfectly valid choice of training tyre... unless it's raining, at which point your bike mysteriously obtains a 99.99% probability of inverting itself. And you.matagi said:At the risk of being laughed off the the forum ...... can i suggest Maxxis Detonators as a good training tyre?

I reckon almost all Continental clinchers are **** (I've never used their singles), but I've got a foldable Ultra Gator on the rear of one of my bikes which I don't mind, and I've had pretty good wear out of it
+1 . Good training tyrejock said:Schwalbe Stelvios = good
+1. Another overrated tyre IMO. I brought a pair and they just feel friggin weird. I can't understand why everyone raves about them.jock said:As for PR2s I hate 'em. Their beading is slightly smaller than most which means you'll have a tough time rolling one off the rim in a race, but it also means tough times when fixing punctures (even with tyre levers). As for the ride, well it's just pain wierd: it's surefooted but you feel like your riding on two giant, bouncy balloons.
CX's rule. Closest ride you will get to singles, comfortable, grippy, quick, reasonable wear. Veloflex are nice but a bit harsh a ride. They'd be better if they had a 1-2mm bigger carcass IMO.Jono said:Vittoria evo's, they feel great, haven't noticed that they wear too quickly either
