Anyone read German, was "Carbon" tires

Nothing too surprising: Advantages: lower rolling resistance at same pressure greater comfort (esp. if pressure is lowered) less likelihood of pinch flats (therefore allows lowering of pressure) Disadvantages: greater weight greater wind resistance (they question whether this is as significant for road use as on a track) don't fit in some frames harder to remove wheel with some brakes Nice to see them list which tires can be mounted without tools ("werkzeuglos") vs. those needing tire levers ("Reifenhebern") It's a long time since I had German lessons in school, so I struggle a bit with the language, but I've just subscribed to "Tour". Excellent round-up, but I might also add that the article mentions a test done in Germany that couldn't find significant aerodynamic differences between 25 and 23 mm tires. Also note that the star rating of the tires (1-5) is for puncture resistance. Kjell Arne -- http://www.brumunddal-sk.idrett.no/ Remove your clothes if you want to answer by e-mail! |
