Tyre recommendations for TT
I've got a pair of Schwalbe Blizzard (25c) on the bike at the moment for
long distance comfort but am looking for a good competition tyre, 20-23c clincher. Any recommendations? They'll be going on a pair of mavic Open 4 CD rims. ...d |

Schwalbe Stelvios make your bike go like greased weasel ****. I added nearly 1mph to my average speed swapping from s'licks to Stelvios. They don't last very long, and they are not the most puncture resistant, but they are certainly fast. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

Stelvios seem to be Schwalbe's Hot Tyre du Jour, and they come in 20 and 23mm 700c as well as all sorts of other sizes. Even available with attractive coloured sidewall stripes!

They'll be going on a pair of mavic Open 4 CD rims. Buy these - £10 the pair plus postage. I've had two pairs off him and they're FAST (I use them on the same rims). They're really 700 x 20, not 700 x 25. He's quoting what the box says, but the tyres are marked 20-622. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...47913 77&rd=1 |

The tyres on my Giant when supplied were Hutchinson Carbon Comps. They certainly felt fast but the most noticeable thing about them was the cornering. I've not felt so confident cornering on any other tyre. That said, they are race tyres and work by leaving vast amounts of rubber on the roads so expect plenty of punctures. I'm not sure where you'd get them from but one of the tyre manufacturers was marketing a clincher rim fitting tubular. Looks quite neat. Inflates to 220psi. I imagine they'd be fun. What size? Do you mean 120 psi? ~PB |

How hard are they to get on?
Anyone own a pair? On Wed, 30 Jun 2004 00:18:27 +0100, Jon Senior jon_AT_restlesslemon_DOTco_DOT_uk wrote: Pete Biggs opined the following... What size?
