And they are as tough as nails. But only available as a blackwall.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned the michelin pro 4's these are excellent tires and can be found at very good prices.
I was asking about the Michelin Power tubular. I see where there was the Pro4 as well. In the USA these don’t seem to be as common. Some of the prices I have seen are ~80 USD to over $100.
Could you give a link link to where these are available at a better price?
I have this Chris King R45 11 speed hubset in silver 28f, 28r that I had laced up to Velocity polished Major Tom rims and they came out beautiful. I’m not planning on using them for cyclocross, just road. In a separate thread, a BF member said the rim base is too flat/wide for road tubulars. I’m bummed about this but plan to forge ahead and try some wider road tubulars and also try some double sided 3M tape to mount them.
