Pretty much as advertised - good combination of speed and puncture

I did get one puncture a while back, following which I filled my rear

If yours is 25.4 so much the better. If not I'll need a shim.
If anyone wants to buy the 10 cm that would be fine too. Say $30

My preference would still be for 25.4mm clamp diameter, or to sell
