Wanted: Specialized Armadillo 700 x 23

Posted on
  • I got my front wheel stolen from outside of the Pub on the Park, Hackney on Saturday. I've got a wheel sorted, but does anyone have an All-Condition armadillo tyre (or tyres) in 700 x 23 they want to sell?
    I'm in East London so can pick up from anywhere within reasonable distance.

  • anything wrong with evans?

  • Obviously there is quite a lot wrong with Evans. I am quite willing to purchase from a shop, though I doubt it would be Evans.
    But, some people buy Armadillo tyres and decide they don't like them. I'm giving them an opportunity to sell them onto me.

  • meh. :D

  • armidillo on front?!?

    I know it's not the most comfortable, but the last time I had a puncture was November 2007.

  • but how many times has your front wiped out?

  • Only once, when I went over some oil. I go slow when it rains though.

  • Forget about Evans, go to Condor. I bought Armadillo with kevlar bead for £26 and in evans they have them for £33. Otherwise you are right guys, I have them on the both wheels and the are not sticky at all. But puncture protection is more important sometimes.

  • I have one with about 6 inches of the fabric showing, but with slideability like they have, it's hard to resist massive skids. Not sure I'd feel safe with an Armadillo on the front.

  • Gator Skins are nice on the front. I haven't had a puncture on the front in two years. Tomorrow it will of course happen.
