Goodbye Duranos, you've served me well

[annirak]

My Durano+'s have suffered their second Rapid Unplanned Deflation, after nearly a year and a half of service doing 16 miles per week day--about 6200 miles.

The rear tyre is badly cut up and worn nearly flat, so I think it's time they were replaced.

They've been feeling a bit sluggish lately, so I've decided to go with Schwalbe One clinchers. I couldn't believe the pressure they take! 10 bar (145psi)!

I doubt they'll do quite as well as the Durano+'s, but I'll report back in the first time they puncture.

Just fitted Durano DDs to my Ribble, Replaced the Gatorskins. Hopefully more protection.

Watch this space.

I love the D+ a lot. I've found my new Tannus tyres to be even more p*nct*re proof ( on account of them being solid). The Schwalbe one is a very nice tyre, I've found them to be more p*nct*re resistant than anything I've used by Continental, but less resistant than the D+, but they roll and grip better than the D+. Let us know how you find them.

I think that your Ones will be quite a rough ride at 10 BAR. Unless you are very heavy? Mrs A uses blue Ones on one of her bikes and as she only weighs 60kg uses about 7BAR.

DDs are not quite as resistant as the D+, in my experience, but they are more compliant during fast cornering, so it's swings and roundabouts really.

I've been seeing a lot about tanus lately. I think they might be just the ticket for commuting, but the D+'s lasted nearly as long with nearly as much RUD protection (2 RUDs over 6000 miles of all weather commuting), so I'm not quite sold on the idea yet.

I've only put 9 bar in them so far. I ran my D+'s at 8 bar, so we shall see.

Fast cornering? Oops bought the wrong tyres.

Capt. Slow me.

 

[Domus]

Forgot to mention they were very easy to fit. A doddle after struggling with the last puncture on the Gatorskins.

No way you need them at 145psi,that's a max pressure I would think.

Ran mine at 80-85psi but they were the tubeless version; probably 90 ish with tubes.

Also what size 23's or 25's.

Oh and they won't last anywhere near as long as Duranos.

I ran them at 145 this morning. It was so fun! They definitely roll faster than the D+'s. They seemed almost smoother than the D+s; a bit like I was skating. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but I can't think how else to describe it.

They're 25mm, and I really don't expect to get another 6000 miles out of them, but we'll see!

What pump do you use to get to 145?

I've got a mini-track pump and even then I struggle to get to 100+

I'm not surprised they feel like skating though, at that pressure there'll be a tiny contact patch, but equally low resistance so fast. How's the cornering?

 

[annirak]

I use a joe blow max hp, and I have no trouble with the pressure. I do worry about what reinflation will be like following a RUD, but that's what CO2 is for, I suppose.

The cornering has been great so far. I wouldn't say I'm pushing it too hard, maybe slightly harder than I did on the D+'s due to the higher speed.

If they're 700c 25mm there isn't enough CO2 in a 16g cartridge to get to 145psi.

I'm under no illusions about that, but what else am I going to do!?

I'd still lower the pressure a bit.
