Im very happy with my 28c Panaracer Paselas. They did better on Eroica than the rider did. The rider walked, but the Paselas just kept rolling along. I have almost 2000 miles on them in less than a year, 1 flat (on pavement). They roll fast, and look good, a lot of gumwall for the money. I like how they look with the dark finish MA40 rims. Top photo shows Blackwell Gatorskin 25c for comparison.
