I have the 25c version of theese on my road bike which i really like. Tempted to get the 32c for my cx bike, for road & also gravel forestry tracks.

Fast rolling light & high tpi 32c tyres are generally very expensive. :evil:

    Fantastic tyres. I use the tubeless tubular 25's, they usually wear out before I get any cuts in them.

    Yeah, super tyres. That's a pretty good price, they retail at £90. They were once on offer at Westbrook Bikes (IIRC) for £45 each - I brought all their (limited) stock.

    The way I look at it: there is no inner tube in the LGG tubular, so if I puncture (I've only ever had one on these), Tufo Extreme Sealant is very likely to work, and the tyre will be good until it wears out.

    Previously I used Vittoria Corsa's: if I puncture, Vittoria Pitstop liquid latex fixes the latex inner tube about 50% of the time, so I was more likely to have to use a spare tub on a ride. When I get home, if the tyre is still worth it, I have to open the tubular, patch the tube and re-stitch, which is a PITA.
