Show us your Schwalbe Ultremo ZX shod machines....!!!

[Sittingduck]

Acquired this very afternoon

Okay so...

This week I switched out the Ultremos for Conti 4 Seasons Figured it was time for an updated pic, even though it's no longer shod with Ultremos!! I have made a few modifications in the past few months

Yes - I know, I know... I have no sharp hacksaw blades but as soon as I acquire them, I shall indeed cut down the steerer. perhaps leaving 10mm above the stem, just incase!

The decals might very well becoming off the wheels also. Just waiting a while until I have the confidence that they will not need to be sent back to Planet X (it's a long story).

Don't cut down the steerer! a) it looks cool like that, b) it shows you have thoughfully considered and adjusted your ride, and b) you may in the future need the extra height again!

I'm pretty sure I'll only ever need a max of 10mm and think it looks a bit wrong, as is... only way I kind of get away with it, is because the Garmin sits 'in the gap'!

 

[Nearly there]

How do the Contis compare to the schwalbe?

Interested to know how they ride as Im leaning toward the contis for a Autumn/winter tyre

 

[Sittingduck]

Ok, I'm back. They were great! Not quite as quick as my Ultremos but it may just have been the fact that it was a fairly cold day and a lumpy ride. They are very comfy and of course, had no visitations

this is my specialized roubaix with 28mm Ultremo ZX, which is how I had it set up for PBP 2011

I really like the tyres I run them at 120 psi and find them to be quick and responsive on Zipp wheels.

Been a while since I've had this, tyres now done 2,500 miles - just about to be changed.

Ooooh! A tyre fetish thread! Bet those Schwalbe tyres don't smell as good as my latex inner tubes though.

Wait until you pull a muscle in your back or neck - then you'll need it all again!
