Yesterday, I bought a pair of Sunlite 27 x 1 1/4 from the LBS at 19.95 each. Fine. I like the shop and no one else had a pair of 27 x 1 1/4 tires. They felt very heavy and thick but what do I know? I am new to 27". I put them on my bike and rode around a bit. Yuck. They are tires. Today, I went to another shop for a chain and checked their tire rack. (When I called they only had one Pasela. That is why I bought the Sunlites from the other shop.) The Pasela is so much lighter and thinner and feels so much more like my nice 700c tires. In the future, I WILL NOT BUY SUNLITES AGAIN.
FrankBooth If you have the luxury of returning your tires and ordering Paselas, do it. So many BF members posting in C&V swear by them for a good reason.
