I had no flats for quite a while - over 1000 miles.  Then one day I had two
separate flats from glass on the ride home.  I love the ride, and will get
more of these...

I have about 1200 miles on the Cyprii on the Ram and have not had a flat.
Probably just luck that will run out this weekend.

+1 on that. 1,000s and 1,000s of miles on my Paselas, including two flat-free 
PBPs (not all on the *same* Paselas … they *do* wear out eventually!)

It's probably accurate to say there is no other tire in the
performance-per-dollar class with the Pasela.  And Jack Browns do NOT
count as Paselas here.

Re: [RBW] Re: 700 x 32 tire recommendation, please...

2013-01-31 Thread PATRICK MOORE
I rode 559X32 mm Paselas for years and they are nice tires, but I
found the following defects:

1. They are surprisingly sensitive to pressure compared to other tires
I've used (currently very slightly wider Kojaks). Now this was on very
narrow, 19 mm Sun M14A rims, but compared to Kojaks -- and Fatboys and
City Slickers -- the sweet spot between harshness and bouncing seemed
quite narrow.

2. The casings were fragile -- I would notice degradation in the
sidewalls after just a few months and the tread would scrape off after
a panic skid on the rear.

3. They seemed more prone to flats than other tires I've used.

Still, properly inflated, a smooth and fast ride, and 240 grams at $25
or less ...
