from UK Date Reviewed: May 16, 2007 Strengths: £20 for a PAIR, including tubes - BARGIN!!! I have put 6000 all weather miles on these and they are still going strong. They are also puncture resistant I have only had 2 punctures with them. Weaknesses: The rolling resistance is medium at best - compared to other road tyres. 450grams is a heck of a lot lighter than most MTB tyres but is you spend more then you can get even less – if you know what I mean. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Wiggle.co.uk

Tread feels pretty solid, not expecting any punctures. Weaknesses: You will have poor balance at low speeds, but what do you expect on 1.2" tyres?

from Santa Fe, NM Date Reviewed: October 24, 2006 Strengths: It may be the perfect commuter slick. Almost never flats, even with nothing but regular tubes, despite how frequently i'm picking out goatheads and glass from them. Fast enough. Weaknesses: None. Not the easiest tire in the world to seat, but they're not bad. Plus, no flats = no need to change. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: windsor / atallayah Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Similar Products Used: Schwalbe Big Apples, WTB Nanoraptors Bike Setup: rigid Surly Karate Monkey SS w/ the Schwalbe Big Apples (2.35)

from burbank, ca Date Reviewed: October 12, 2004 Strengths: 1.25" tire holds 100 psi and rolls FAST. Soaks up road irregularities. Inexpensive considering their great performance. Weaknesses: One nail-type puncture directly through the tread, but probably couldn't be avoided in industrial Los Angeles. Tires might benefit from kevlar under the tread, not just on the sidewall. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $20.00 Similar Products Used: Tioga City Slicker (too low pressure). Bike Setup: KHS Alite 4000 hardtail with 2nd pair commuter wheels.

from orange Date Reviewed: August 31, 2004 Strengths: 1. Much, much, much faster than a fat 2" knobby. 2. Also, a quieter and smoother (much smoother) ride than a knobby on the street. 3. Cornering on the street improves phenomenally. 4. Tire sidewall reads kevlar bead, so at 20 bucks not a bad value. Weaknesses: 1. A compromise tire: not as light or fast as a true 700 cc. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: 700 cc road tires only. Bike Setup: Gary Fisher hardtail.

from Sydney, Australia Date Reviewed: June 3, 2003 Strengths: Excellent street tire - soft compound with minimal siping gives fantastic grip in wet and dry. Weaknesses: Rate of wear propbably related to compund density. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: BikeZone Penrith Similar Products Used: IRC Metro 2.0" and 1.5" - wire bead a bit hard and difficult to seat bead, doesn't roll as well. Michelin city just too square a profile to allow fast turns. Specialized Fatboy 1" really fast but just too skinny for everyday urban assault. Bike Setup: thrown together
