| Price Paid: | $20 |
| Purchased At: | Local bike shop |
| Strengths: | Good slicks, soft, fast. Dual compound |
| Weaknesses: | None |
| Similar Products Tried: | specialized hemisphere ex. |
| Bike Setup: | 80lb electric comfort bike for road use. |
| Bottom Line: | These slicks are pretty good for the road. I run low pressure and a 80lb bike. I run about 18-20 psi in front and 26 psi. I have the 26 x 2.2. They are 26.5 inches tall and about 2 1/16" wide on skinny rims. They soften the bumps pretty well. Pumped up to normal levels, they become easier to pedal but ride gets bumpy at higher speeds. I have 1700 miles on them but I don't pedal much. They will wrinkle on big ledge type bumps if not aired up to like 26, but I don't care about that. They have a thin sidewall but the corners are thick and the center section slick is about 1 inch wide. The softer rubber on the corners is not a slick, but textured rubber. I really like them. |
