>>1854194I have a pair of these, except wire because I’m broke as fuck and that’s what I could get conveniently. I used them for most of this period (pic related, my spring/summer as a newbie cyclist), losing 15 pounds and down to 217 now. Strava actually lost a lot of data on my last long ride so add another 2300 ft climbed. They made a nice difference over the tires that came on my craigslist bike. Those ones took a puncture straight through to the tube in my first 80 miles of cycling, (on the rear) despite looking perfectly fine. May give an indication what kinda debris I see. Glass, nails, bolts, rusty car fragments plus New England potholes. All of them, every single ride, even the pretty short ones.
These are some of the fastest rolling compound on the budget end for everyday tires based on the reviews and testing I saw. I have a few micro tears on the rear (should probably check the front) but with some luck I’ll get them to last around 2k miles and get a whole year out of it.
