$30.00 | | Purchased At: | cambriabike.com | | Strengths: | Light; corners great. | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | Ritchey 'cross tires | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale 'cross frame; Ultegra; ATAC | | Bottom Line: | This is the best 'cross tire I've used. I thought I couldn't corner fast, until I got these. Doesn't get clogged with mud -- the knobs are big enough to grip through the slimy stuff, but small enough to go fast on the hardpack/pavement. Don't know about durability, I only use it for racing, where it shines. It's all black, which goes with anything, as opposed to some of those other colors. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Cambria | | Strengths: | Light and good grip | | Weaknesses: | Look at it wrong and it flats | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager CX, Michelin Jet | | Bike Setup: | Lemond Poparad | | Bottom Line: | These tires look good on paper - they are very light and have a good tread pattern. But do not take these tires off road. They will rip and flat every time. Every single time I took these off roading, they puntured or ripped. I wasn't even riding them on rough terrain. I have a buddy that bought the same tires at the same time. He has had the same problems. Don't buy these tires! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
