    I used Ultremo's last year, really liked them fast and light, seemed to be wearing well. Then after 3 months light use lost both in one day. Blew the sidewall (on that horrible road to the bottom of the Telegraph) clipped a large stone, so can't complain too much. Whilst wondering what to do spotted that the other had developed an egg. Borrowed a wheel to get to the top and had to buy some Conti ultra sport, the only ones left in the shop. I didn't know about the recall, so just binned the Ultremo's. Now have Force Attack on the nice wheels and am pleased with them.

    I've just put some Durano's on the training wheels, and first impressions are very good. Haven't been out in the wet yet, but they seemed very confident in fast corners and rolled nicely.

    I have a set of the white Ultremo R1's on my bike now (not in stock my bum.... Independant Distribution have them) and have to say they are good. Rolling resistance is almost non existant and loads of grip. Very impressed so far
