Sense, keyword. Some people have too much money and very little sense

sense is correct i have plenty - but u talk lots of NON sense on times

@jowwy that looks amazing, really cool.
Hope you think they ride like it looks.


S-works Turbo 24c is the Tyre to run IMHO.

how good is the fairy protection on those tyres

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

I've no idea other than stating I have not had a puncture since running them on all my bikes, this includes the recent rain drenched Brighton fnrttc where many people got punctures and I did not.

Let's hope they're better than the original Turbo S from the 90s. I've still not a NOS pair in my spares box and that's where they're staying...

Best place for them is the bin, they might get a puncture in your box..... my goodness that old compound was dire..think they shared it with marigold.

compound? - I've got t-shirts with thicker fabric than those tyres..

OK - whats the difference between the 4 seasons and the 4000s - they are both the same weight so i can't see why one would be quicker then the other


unless it just down to the chilli compound

Composition, ply, compound - the difference between the two is like chalk and cheese. Weight isn't actually that much of an issue in terms of how well a tyre rolls - or how it feels once under way.

The 202s are great wheels, never cease to impress, with latex tubes and fast rubber they simply fly along.

just need to lose some midrif timber now @Mr Haematocrit and keep my power to weight ratio high and then i will be one happy bunny.

heavy tyres - they only weigh about 220grammes as they are folders not wire bead

only 220 grams! you'll be telling us next that you have standard tubes too! Why spend a fortune on these wheels and then fit heavy tyres and probably heavy tubes too?

 

[Rob3rt]

It is only a handful of grams heavier than a GP4000s.
