Michelin World Tour 27 x 1 1/4

Advantages: Light weight, durable well made tyres
Disadvantages: A little pricey

..., and the tread pattern is very similar to the Comp 24. They have Michelin's Silica Compound which helps decrease rolling resistance, and also have a 127 Tpi (threads per inch) cord casing that is found on all other Michelin top of the range tyres. Even though these are sized at 26 x 2.2 (52 x 559), they are a smaller in width than the 2.2 size you would find on the Michelin DH tyres (54 x 559). The size of these is more comparable to a set of Maxxis 2.1 XC tyres. Installation was pretty straight forward, with the only serious effort needed when mounting the tyre to my rims, as like other Michelin tyres, the beading can be a tight fit when put on for the first time. My first impressions on using them were that they felt incredibly grippy. They are stable when cornering hard, and braking heavily. If you choose to use the directional tread pattern... Read review

Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...up fine and so far (1 week later) there have been no mechanical issues from it arriving. This is actually unusual for bikes as the transportation can knock the gear mechanism out of line easily, which means quite a lot of fiddling with allen keys and screw drivers to correct.

After 15 minutes of inflating the tyres and setting the bike to my exact measurements i was ready to go.. The first difference i... Read review

Disadvantages: Wouldn`t recommend it for fast and soft greens!!

...Golfers from all over the world have now the priviledge of playing with the new improved Titleist Pro V1. This is the number 1 golf ball in the PGA tour, and the fact that Tiger does not play with it, doesn`t mean is not good!! As a matter of fact 8 out of the top 10 players last year on the PGA tour played with this ball and most of them will not switch to another ball even if the offer them a juicy contract...why?..simply becuase they know that this is THE BEST GOLF THERE IS. This New Improved Pro V1 , now comes with more distance, more spin control (doesn`t spin back as much as the first Pro v1), higher durability (this is impressive you can play 18, 36, 45 holes with the same ball and if you are a decent player the ball might even continue being "useable") and with all the new technology available. I am scratch player and I play... Read review
