On my new bike!
Strengths:
Starting out with my first real 'road' bike and these tyres came standard on in...2008 OCR3
Weaknesses:
None found as yet..but will say I prefer to run now at about 105psi
Similar Products Used:
none
Bike Setup:
bog standard 2008 OCR3 tyres as is!
Bottom Line:
I'm 106kg, bout 181cm tall and mid 40's on my first new road bike. New to this style of riding. Had a hybrid for 10 yrs, moved up now. Using the bike about 3-4 times a week for about 50-70km total(light user). I use a small compressor on adaptors on the valves to get 105-110psi in them and I like that pressure..smooth for me and doesnt feel like the brakes are on. Yes I feel some bumps, but it IS a bicycle you know! Using the bike to try an alternative to other sport now..gettin older ya know! Thats my thoughts folks.

Price Paid:

Strengths:
Seems to last forever, grips very well the pavement, very low rolling resistance, kevlar beading.
Weaknesses:
being a 26x1.0 tire and runing at 125psi, the user can feel just almost every feature of the asfalt, so expect a little bit of a shaky ride.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
A great tyre at a reasonable price. just remember to use it with high pressures (over 100psi) to avoid snake bites.

Strengths:
They are thick and can run high pressures
Weaknesses:
They are very heavy and since mine are 26c they are very tall too
Similar Products Used:
These are road bike tires...
Bike Setup:
Ibex Classis 3300
Bottom Line:
These are road bike tires, bit they are tough so i guess you could use them offroad... we did the tunis roubix and i had no problems going through the tough sections. They run up to 125psi which makes them run smoothly for such a huge heavy tire. They are very tall and rub my breaks sometimes if crap gets under there. I would buy them again if i could find them/ they came in a smaller size
