Advantages: Light weight, durable well made tyres Disadvantages: A little pricey
...After finding a set of these on Ebay for half the RRP, I patiently waited for them to arrive, and I was eager to see just how good these tyres were. On my previous experiences with Michelintyres, I have always liked the stability and grip that was offered with their Downhill range of tyres, and was unsure what to expect with these lighter weight, more Cross Country orientated models.
Once they arrived the first thing I noticed was how light the tyres were, probably due to the Kevlar folding beading and tough, but not overbuilt construction of the casing.

Advantages: lightweight, low rolling resistence. longevity Disadvantages: tend to start looking grubby after a few rides

These tyres weigh about 235g each, which is pretty light. The give a nice compliant ride at high pressures (140psi) and roll exceptionally well. I used to swear by Michelins but always found they wore out within about 1000 miles. These vredsteins seem to keep going ang going. The surface does tend to crack which give me concern at first but there seems to be no loss in grip or any other noticable from new, and they do get grubby looking very quicky. They grip in the wet as good as in the dry and I use these all year round on both my 'best' race bike and winter trainer without any problem. I have only suffered 2 punctures in the last 4 years...

I've been using Paint Shop Pro since around 1998/9, when PSP5 was out. Since then, it's been through many different upgrades, and I've learnt much about photo and image editing along the way.
Until version 10, or Paint Shop Pro X to give it its proper more
In my past I've had some (or a lot) of irons go in and out of my household constantly, either because it was just cheap and broke after the first 10 uses, or it was that I had accidentally dropped (or thrown) the iron on the floor, or left it on for so... more
