We got some of our venerable New Xpress 700c tires in with a new reflective sidewall stripe. These will help keep you safe at night and of course features our HyperTex casing to ward off punctures. Shown is the 32c size. I was running 28 New Xpress tires previously, and while the 32s are a big tire, I haven't noticed a lot of additional rolling resistance, and all that tire goes a long way towards taming even the crappiest of roadways. I am looking forward to some longer, brevet-style rides this spring and some cycle-camping/touring. The 32c size is great when you load up your bike, the bigger footprint and volume really helps stabilize the bike.
Clearance on a Double-Cross, tons of room for fenders (or bigger tires):
Tread pattern on a 32c (similar to the 28c and 35c patterns, the 26c and 23c are a bit smoother):
I'm liking those tires.
ReplyDeleteAny update on when the next shipment of (Saga) frames will hit the states?
What frame size is that Double Cross? Thanks.
