Sure thing Patrick. At the moment I've finally managed to patch a hole in one of the tires and have just gotten the air to stay inside. Current plan is to test them over the next week and a half and then ride them on the West Point Inn Riv Ramble if they hold up. Once I get home from that I should have enough miles on them to form at least an initial opinion. I'll try to remember to write up some impressions.
