After reading all the hype about the Challenge Paris-Roubaix tires I decided to order a pair for my new custom Randonnering bike. I had read about the low rolling resistance and supple ride which all sounded great. I've read about the fact that they were not very sturdy when it came to road debris and stuff, but it couldn't be that bad. I don't ride in the inner city so I figured that I would not have too many flats to be worried. When I got the package and felt the thread thicknesses it was so thin and delicate that I've decided to return them.
Now I need to find a 28-30mm tire that is reasonably fast and durable. The Paselas seem ok, I have 35's on our tandem and 32's on my urban bike . I was looking for something a little better. The Roly Polys seem like an option. And perhaps the Grand Bois, but I hear they are flat prone too. The Continental GP 4000 4 seasons seem like a good compromise. Does anyone have experience with these? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
