I had a tire party last night. All 4 bikes were queued up to get different rubber. I got through 3 of the 4:
Go-Fast: I took off the Clement Stradas for later. I'm going to treat those like 'event tires'. I put on a pair of wire-bead Conti Gatorskin 700x28s that have been in the garage for ~3 years. It's one of those curses of being half pack-rat and half minimalist. The minimalist loves to get rid of stuff. The pack rat can't bear getting rid of something unless it's used up. So I'm going to try to use up the oldest tires and get them used up before they are too old to use. Hilsen: Hetres came off and Pari-Motos went on. The Hilsen has the medium width Foss tubes. I've punctured the Pari Motos on practically every ride of over 50 miles. This is another try to make restore confidence in them, and my sternest test for Foss tubes, since I have no interest in seeking out goatheads. Rawland: Fenders and Soma New Express tires came off. Quasi-Motos and wide Foss tubes went on. I'm anticipating the slimy clay of Wildcat Canyon being rideable now, and if not now, soon. The Rawland will not get smooth tires until I've finally worked out one of my long-neglected goals: mapping out a >70% dirt route from my home in El Cerrito to my office in South Hayward (~35 miles). Bomba: Soma New Express will come off, and I'm going to do some fender line correction when the wheels are off. Then Hetres will go on. The other thing I did was tear apart a tubular wheelset. The tires are in good shape, but were poorly glued onto rims that are pretty worn out. So I set aside the tires in the tire box, and unlaced the rims for recycling. The 36h Campy Record hubset will go to the second hand channels. 126mm rear.
