The Courier Berlins are just amazing. I pump em up to to 130psi, and the sidewalls are like ROCK! I am testing out 26 Soma everwear tyre on the back, not bad tyre so far (no punctures, a few cuts from riding and skidding around east london one night, but i guess the 5mm tire threading is doing its job. The only thing is I have to ride harder than as the tyre is really slow. I pump these up to 120 psi even if they recommend 90psi. People have mentioned that they blow out quite often but I havent had any problems "yet" otherwise I ride a 29 courier berlin on the back and 24 on the front.
I am riding puncture-less for 4 weeks and two days. =)
March 2011 Update
Riding with:
Courier Berlin AP - front 24c
Soma Everwear - Rear 26c
Still no punctures.. both tyres are pumped up to 130psi and holding well!
Berlins are bombproof, still using my first one NO punctures...there is one cut on the tire but with the extra threading still works like a charm, oh oh and have been doing 80-100 miles a week in them.
Everwears are amazing, after wear in period cornering is wonderful you get a great response from them. Although I must say again the tire is actually quite on the heavy side. but if u want a skiddable tire that will last you.. these ones are perfect.
