To All: The casing on the top is, in fact, the Hetre. Point of my photo is that there’s little to discern the tire casings—visually, at least. As one responder noted, the Hetre has a folding bead, so that looks different; the casings, and the density of threads in the plies, looks the same.
I wonder if most of the different between the Hetre and a Col de la Vie is in the tread (thickness, design, material)? The two tires certainly ride differently—the Hetre feels much better—but you wouldn’t know that to look at the casings. --Eric Norris Email: [email protected] Web: www.campyonly.com Blog: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy On Jan 13, 2014, at 10:10 AM, Bill Lindsay <[email protected]> wrote: > They look pretty similar in your photo.
