Picked up some new Challenge Strada 700x40 tyres the other day...
I've been contemplating getting a pair of these. Seem fast, but I've read some negative things about durability/puncture resistance, and as you say, ease of fitting. The guy at bicyclerollingresistance seems to think they have decent puncture protection though, so a little confused!
I'm mostly riding hardpack/light gravel, which is bone dry 99.9% of the time, so don't really need much tread and durability probably not such a major concern anyway. Want something that will also roll fast on tarmac as well.
