I put at least 2000 (very conservative estimate) miles on a set of the
same non-TG Paselas last year here in Honolulu and never had a lick of
trouble. They were the original tires on my Quickbeam which I received
back in November of 2009. I'm a daily commuter and have ridden several

I've found that all my Paselas will eventually develop sidewall problems
similar to the photo. Mine are definitely from damage though, riding in
rocky terrain. I have other damage from drying out in the heat that I
believe contribute to their frailty though.
I can't tell you if that's a defect o
Hi,
I bought a pair of 35x700C non-TG Paselas in June from Harris Cyclery,
and put them on my secondary bike for a couple of rides, and then
replaced them with some 40mm tires I bought later. Recently I put them
on my Sam for a 100km mixed surface ride since the 40s don't fit under
the Sam's fende

Be prepared for alot more cyclist than 20 years ago. I did it also in
