Swap out with a matching Brooks Swallow and your NTMTFB will border on hipsterclassique and Saturday morning on 9W will feel pretty okay. You might even receive an invite to enjoy an overpriced muffin with the other Freds, which you could brush off with the utmost snobbery.

In fact it's the same tire that came on the Tresca.<br /><br />Skidmark,<br /><br />Thanks for that link! I always thought Continental Grand Prix [insert number here] felt less supple than comparable tires and puzzled over their thread count listings. (Though they also seemed more durable, which is why I always liked them.)<br /><br />--Tan TenovoBikeSnobNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256142855437740163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-9836842761304226162019-10-29T11:28:10.914-04:002019-10-29T11:28:10.914-04:00@George Krpan 9:19am, - read Lennard Zinn on TPi, ...@George Krpan 9:19am, - read Lennard Zinn on TPi, https://forums.roadbikereview.com/wheels-tires/question-tpi-357058.html.Skidmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506271557873306872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-8224346044148753022019-10-29T09:19:01.791-04:002019-10-29T09:19:01.791-04:00Continental Ultra Sport II tires can be had for $1...Continental Ultra Sport II tires can be had for $15, 180 tpi.George Krpanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809347765487363066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-89259883094159218752019-10-29T08:56:44.291-04:002019-10-29T08:56:44.291-04:00Jobst has an enormous head tube.

Super supple tubeless tires, Zertz, carbon's innate compliance and phat bar tape will offset any negatives from the increased road vibrations. Seriously - 45c are supposedly as fast as 23c? Come on, the wool's been pulled over the heads of the gullible who've swallowed it like the lantere rouge eating grit at the back end of a rainy gravel grinder. I predict two or three more good gravel years left, until skinny tires catch back on and fixies start appearing on the horizons of mainstream bike manufacturers. The simple bike. Simple bikes with skinny tires, or else these: electric assist 29+ hydraulic componetry bikes with on-the-fly electronically dampened 0-140 mm travel full suspension, full lockout and adjustable width tires that shift on voice actuated commands filtered through a rider's smart phone, inoperable to all others. oh, and optional integrated cameras/turn/brake signal system. Actually - there's probably enough room in Trek and Specialized's product lineups to support some of each. Neither of which will appeal to the leather glove wool sweater and leather gloves crowd. The team you seem to have become affiliated with on account of your smoking gun confessions as of late, assumed middling age, seasoned crusty rider status, and penchant for 32 spoke count wheelsets.
