Not sure if it’s just the Vittoria Corsa Speed G+ 2.0 Tubs that are difficult to buy in 25mm…..any ideas?
I’ve been away from cycling the past couple of years and just getting back into it, so maybe things have changed regarding wider tyre trends/Brexit/covid etc….(My Bora 50’s won’t take anything larger than 25mm, especially with older calliper brakes - so 25 is my must have width)
Even when they are available they tend to go for 100 quid per tyre, which is definitely significantly up from recent years.
Anyway, tonight I managed to buy a pair on eBay for 110 quid (in black) but they’re the older version, not the latest 2.0 (seller says there’s no difference whatsoever). Just hope I haven’t overspent. Perhaps a new tub brand/model is the way forward.
