$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Locomotion | | Strengths: | Fast, Light, Good Grip | | Weaknesses: | None yet! | | Similar Products Used: | N/A | | Bike Setup: | Giant Rincon
Avid BB7 Front and Rear
Michelin XC Road | | Bottom Line: | Very fast rolling tires that require much less effort and seem to coast forever. Surprisingly, they perform pretty well off of the pavement as well. I tried riding on the grass/sand next to the paved trail, and had no problem at all. I have not had a single flat yet with these tires, but I am very careful where I ride, or I'm just lucky! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$16.00 | | Purchased At: | Universal Cycles | | Strengths: | Light and smooth rolling | | Weaknesses: | Flats too easily | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Nimbus | | Bike Setup: | Old School circa '97 Single speed Cannondale HT, Marzocchi 100mm fork, nukeproof, Mavic,XT, Ringle ZuZu pedals. Gearing: 36 front, 19 Chris King rear. 21 lbs. with current setup. | | Bottom Line: | I use the ole' HT for commuting to my train station. The ride is mostly road, so I opted for slicks. I like the minimum rolling resistance, but I have flatted twice in a week with them, without even knowing what I ran over. I try to be careful not to ride over broken glass, etc. The first time, I was going downhill pretty fast and had to make a turn. I didn't realize at first that the tire wad already lost a lot of air, so as soon as I leaned the bike, the front washed out and made hamburger meat out of my shin. I guess I'll put in a little more time on them. (just bought 4 tubes). If the flats keep happening, I'm going back to Specialized Nimbus, even thought they weigh quite a bit more. (Due to the built in flat protection). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
