It has probably been previously discussed here to one degree or another, but after using various wider clincher tires, from 35mm Soma New Xpress to 42mm Hetres in 700 and 650b I was wondering what to expect from the Challenge Stradas in 25mm. I found a very affordable pair although I was eventually going to try either the Eroica or PBP tubulars but on my limited budget the prices would have had me waiting awhile. I had the Yellow Jersey 21mm tubulars on my Sabatini before I sold it, they were passable for something cheaper of course for a narrow tub with a butyl tube and basic casing but hopefully the Strada will be a more pleasant experience. They will be used on the Urago, which has some other basic unglued 21mm tubulars on it at the moment, they were free but are a mismatched pair and a bit too harsh for me which is the reason I went with the wider Strada. A short ride around the neighborhood recently made me realize how spoiled the wider clinchers have made me!
