I've been riding since 1970; I've tried about everything there is. I was using Armadillos when I had the nine-flat century. Pasela TGs are probably the best combination of toughness and feel I've had so far. I put a new pair of Schwalbe Little Big Bens on the Atlantis yesterday and ran a locust thorn through the tread four miles into the first ride. I weigh 240, which may be a factor, but we have thorns that go through a Kevlar belt and a Mr. Tuffy like it wasn't there.
