  • I've only done about 11 urban miles, but they seem better at absorbing the bumps on our lovely roads.

    I got decent grip on the wet cobbled climb up to the depot too, were as I normally would get wheel-slip, if it was even a touch moist, with Open Pro's and 25 Four Seasons.

    The only issue was seating the tyres this morning, but with the help of a screwdriver, many swears and much PSI they went on in the end. The screwdriver paid the ultimate sacrifice though I'm afraid (RIP little cheap one)

    I'm away this weekend but the following week I'll be back on the training and then I have week in Scotland, so I'll pass on my in-depth-Luddite-opinions after all that.

    They look bloody lovely too btw, as did you when I met you last night ;)

    Easy tiger.

    Also: Hed Belgiums and cheap screwdrivers? :-0

    That's two things for sure the wider profiles provide, increased traction & more comfort when riding.

  • Ha ha, just pulling your leg.

    Don't worry I was using the handle of the screwdriver to push the beading up to the edge of the rim. The Hed's won regardless.

    Def better traction, that's for sure
