thanks ed, they seem perfect in every aspect except one unfortunate point . at 160 quid to kit out two of my bikes they are going to be a little expensive for me.
i've e-mailed CB re; the nutraks - if they sit at 28mm i'll take a gamble on a few of them .
perhaps while i'm, here you can help me with pretty noob questions :
do you know any difference between the so called open tubular and good skinwall folding tyres? i thought the former was just an old name for a folder, but i'm seeing applied to newer tyres too. it's not for that new open tubeless system is it?
also - i've never quite got this, as i've never had a tyre completely fail on me on the road - - what is the deal with folders? - are they made to fold in order to carry them easily as spares -or is their ability to fold incidental to some other qualities (like more flexible lighter bead perhaps ? )
