I went out for a blustery 50 miles last night (mix of damp urban detritus and damp rural de-treetus) on the same pair of these that I bought in 2001:
They've done tens of thousands of miles now – commuting, bridleways, winter training, audaxing, blah – and still look like they could go on for quite some time. They are a 28mm that is more like a 25mm, and have always been mounted on narrowish rims. At 80psi rear and 75psi front, evidence suggests they are also faster than most other tyres including race tyres. How is that even possible?
I think they p*'d once when I locked the back brake descending a steep dried up riverbed in about 2005 i.e. user error.
Conclusion: best tyres in universe and you should time travel to buy some or your power profiles are going to be eternally shit.
@hippy is going to use them in his US endurance campaign
