On a subject slightly related tue due yue glue, I received a set of Veloflex Criteriums in the mail today. They look to be very nicely made, light, similar to the Vittoria Corsa EVO SC. I pulled them over a set of old unglued rims and pumped them up to stretch them. They appear very smooth and even.
Of course, there is no direction arrow and they have a label on both sides, so there is no indication of rotation direction other than a directional chevron pattern in the tread. What's a rider to do? I don't want to violate the C&V tire-mounting rules. Ah, I know. Check the tread pattern against the Vittorias. Got it. We're okay now. Never mind.
