Patrick has been having good luck with Stan's. I pulled the thread back
because of the Stradas - they ride better than the larger Parigis. et tu?

Patrick, I feel for you really I do. It's bad enough dealing with goat
heads, but on top of that you get talking heads.
I have never cycled through goat heads but I am familiar with them from
camping in Canyon de Chellly in Az. I remember dreading putting my hand
down to crawl out of the tent
yes, and I told you I inflated it to see how sharply it rode over the edge
of my garage and was checking the front at higher pressures at the same
time. I do normally run this tire at 100 to 110 psi, and have been very
happy with that pressure for 50 miles.

to compare the ride as I described. Pretty sure Challenge rates the tire
95 to 125 psi, so if you're actually running 80 psi you're outside of their
spec.
Has anyone ever asked you why you post in this manner?

Has anyone asked why you are inflating the Parigi Roubaix to 120?

I mounted a Strada up front last night. Really impressed with this
tubular. At 140 psi, it rides softer than the Parigi at 120 psi (and
softer than the Vittoria Rally at 90)

I'm very happy to hear this - I just mounted Parigi-Roubaix tubulars on the
wheels I got from Patrick, on a Francesco Moser lugged frame I bought on
ebay and just finished building. Maiden voyage on Sunday...

That's good to hear. I rotate between a set of 40mm Duremes and 32mm
Hypers, depending on my mood, and it's good to know the Hypers hold up well
to flats (I have few worries about the Duremes).

Is it possible that this tire has been misnamed?
(BTW, at the risk of offending flat-gods, my Challenge "Strada" tubulars, a
bit narrower than the Parigi-Roubaix, have held up nicely for the last
year or so...)

Hey Steve: as preparatory initiation to mounting Brand New Parigi Roubaix
on virgin rims, you ought to spend 10 years mounting Thorn Proof Toobs on
narrow rims under thick 'n' stiff sidewall'd tires. Does wonderful things
for your grip strength and the virtues of patience and resignation.

One a ride this weekend (Me on my AHH w/ 35mm Vittoria Hyper Rando tires)
and a friend riding my Ritchey touring bike(Challenge Roubaix tire), we
both descended a hill and into a large patch of broken glass. The Challenge
tires immediately flatted (front & rear). I was able to continue to a safe
