That's 650 SEE, not BEE; they are for the '99 Joe gofast fixed gear. Anyway, Nashbar has these all on sale, but the 4000s are still $67 while the MP3s are just $37, the Tris (what the heck is a triathlon tire, anyway?) is $40. All weigh about the same and all are folding but Conti claims tpi of 330 while the Ms are just 127. I don't know if any of this is relevant to anything, but there it is. I want a light and supple tire that is not too flat prone and something that rides as well as the now rather worn GPs (pre "3000," I think) from some years ago or, for that matter, my benchmark for small, fast tires, the 559 Specialized Turbos. Have any of you used any of these? Any recommendations? I'd go wider if I could -- 26 perhaps -- but AFAIK there are no *good* 571 tires in anything but 23. I don't want the Terry Telus; if I have to go wide I'd prefer to rebuild to 559 and use Kojaks. I don't pinch flat; never, when I run 22s or 23s at 85/90 or so and they ride cushy enough for me. And I can tell the difference between the old Conti GPs and even the very nice Kojaks. Any other suggestions for other fast, supple 650C tires also welcome.
