They are ok tires...nothing special. They feel ok but I seem to remember they wear fast and didn't have great feel- that was 2 years ago and have moved on to other tires. They are fine tires for the price though.

I'm riding a Continental Ultra 2000 in back right now and I really like it. I just ordered another one for the front. Would've bought local, but nobody seemed to have 700x28.

It's a shame but I've run into this with ...
pedals (decent platforms), a B-17, nice grips
I feel like I'm part of the problem ordering online, but, after visiting two or three shops w/ very little accessory stock it's worth the postage.

I'm a big believer in supporting my LBS(s) but I'm lucky enough to live in a city with many good ones. If they don't have what I want, they can usually order it quickly. But if they can't get it, then I wouldn't feel too bad about ordering it. For some reason I couldn't find an LBS that could order 175mm Sugino 75's (maybe it doesn't appear in the QBP or JB catalog) so I ordered them from Business Cycle. Sadly, one of my favorite stores closed this spring and I don't want to see that happen again.

I used them for awhile. They are prone to cutting easily and will wear out in less than 1500 miles on the back. They didn't inspire much confidence in fast cormers either.

really? Well, mine are still pretty new and holding up nicely - not bad in the rain either. Still, they were cheap.
