what gives?

have you switched 100%?

would ride the winter on them?

what disasters have you had?

are you thinking of going back to clinchers/(tubs)?

would you "credit card" tour on them?

cheers in advance

    what gives?

    - I like them

    have you switched 100%?

    - yes

    would ride the winter on them?

    - winter wheels have GP4Seasons currently but I'd consider the burly Hutchinsons when the need replacing

    what disasters have you had?

    - none

    are you thinking of going back to clinchers/(tubs)?

    - no, I think they're a done deal now

    would you "credit card" tour on them?

    - I did three days around Ventoux on them with no issues. They pumped up no problem on the trackpump after I'd deflated them for the plane.

    what wheel tyre combos have you checked out?

    I like mine, much nicer ride as the air fills the tyre and not a tube in the tyre so even at higher pressures much softer ride, it's hard to describe but noticeable.

    No drama at all, I have 100% switched over and haven't had one puncture of any kind at all.

    hard to get my head round this,,,I used to ride Tubs all the time in the '80s......now happy that tyre technology has moved on enough that I don't need Tubs :)
