) are they fast?
What does fast mean? The new ones use Black Chili and have great grip and roll nicely. The older ones were not bad either..
2) how do they handle?
They handle OK.. They are not as consistent as the Competitions.. and perhaps not as robust but still quite robust.
3) are they as hard as other continentals tubs to get on the rim?
Yup. They have nylon cords. The main difference between the Sprinters and Competitions are they they are a bit less consistent, a bit heavier and provide less puncture protection... The new competions have not just Black Chili but also a Vectran belt--- like the GP4000s clinchers. The older Competitions had a Poly breaker but were also "hard as nails"..
Asking because they seem reasonably priced
Yes. In my opinion the absolute cheapest tubular tyre worth buying. For under 35 EUROs they are great deal.
