Hi,
Earlier this summer I upgraded my commuter to a cdf20. From the very start we were the best of friends. With its brooks b17, full mudguards and rack, what more could you want? The frame felt like it soaked up all the noise from the road. The only issue i've had now after 1000+ miles is with the tyres. My route to work consists of cycle paths and canal tracks (broken glass). So i've picked up a few punctures along the way. I dont think the std cyclocross 700x35 tyres are much good for such a route. Well i have had 1,000 miles out of them so i don't think they owe me much. So I've just switched to Conti TourRide 700x32- 0 miles so far. lol (so far no punctures) - They look more substantial than the old ones. So I'm optimistic for the coming weeks and months.
Does anyone else ride to work on TourRide what do you think good choice or not?
Regards,
Jon

Conti travel contact is a better tyre. These roll for freely and are very puncture resistant.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0
