The mention of sidewall cuts reminds me that the stock Paselas suffered mightily from off roading. Never actually had a failure but lots of small cuts in the sidewalls. The T-serv on the rear took the abuse so well that I changed out the front Pasela before it wore out. Of course this shouldn't

May your kindness be re-paid sevenfold. :-) As to Paselas, yes, their sidewalls are a bit delicate (Tourguard and regular). DE On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 10:43 AM, doug peterson dougpn...@cox.net wrote: The mention of sidewall cuts reminds me that the stock Paselas suffered mightily from off

I just switched out 26 x 1.25 Tservs for 1.5 inch Marsthon Racers and am very happy. I'd say the racers feel almost exactly as fast as the narrower tservs. The 1.5 in Pasela Tourguards I had felt considerably slower. I also got my first flat in over a year. Maybe just coincidence, but we'll

Hey Seth, I've used both the kevlar and steel bead versions and didn't really notice a difference. Definitely check out some 700x35s, whether Paselas or T-serves, I'm sure you'll enjoy them. mike On Jul 20, 2:18 pm, Seth Vidal skvi...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 4:38 PM, David

The sidewalls are definitly different. The Tserve are a solid black rubber; The Pasella are a beige (nylon?) fabric. I ride a lot of dirt roads and the tserves hold up a lot better. Michael On Jul 20, 6:21 pm, David Estes cyclotour...@gmail.com wrote: On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 2:18 PM, Seth

I found the TServ's very dicey in wet conditions. They're sluggish because they're very rugged and the profile is somewhat pointed instead of being nicely rounded. Perhaps unfairly, I view them as being partially responsible for a nasty crash on an off-camber turn in the pouring rain -- so I

No, they're referring to the Kevlar belt that is under the tread for flat protection. The TG tire is available in both folding and wire bead models. Jim On Jun 28, 5:51 pm, hihi jonat...@jonfipro.com wrote: I have what may be a stupid question about Paselas.  When people say they prefer the

I think maybe I wasn't clear. I know that the tourguards are the folding kevlar models, but people say they prefer the non-tourguards. From what I can tell the only other option is the wire bead model. Or is there some other model I don't know about? Thanks! On Jun 28, 9:18 pm, Jim Cloud

Sorry, but I need to refine the reply that I gave to your thread. I believe that you're correct, the non-TG model of the Pasela does have a steel wire bead. Only the TG model is available as an Aramid bead folding model (in addition to a steel bead model). Jim On Jun 28, 5:51 pm, hihi
