Hiya Folks,
I've just finished building a set of Mavic MA2s (32 spoke, inner width 13.5 ish) and the 14mm rim tape just arrived, so now I need some tyres.
Currently running Tufo S33 Pro 24mm tubulars (measured at 25.5mm) on Mavic Monthlery Route rims and they're quite a hard ride on the roads round here - lots of potholes and bad repairs.
So I thought I'd try some 28mm clinchers on the new rims, seems to be another 6mm clearance on the current rims so should be ok.
This is what I've found so far in my 'cheapish' price range
(£20) Continental Ultra Sport III
(£25) Vittoria Zaffiro Pro V
(£27) Specialized turbo pro
(£32) Panaracer Pasela ProTite Folding
(£40) Vittoria Corsa G Folding
(£40) Panaracer Pasela Tour Guard Folding
(£45) Continental Grand Prix 5000
From that list and reading around I'm thinking the Pasela ProTite (tan sidewall) are probably about right for me, does anybody have a reason not to go with those ?
Or does somebody have another suggestion (bonus points for red side walls) ?
If I was staying 25 I was going to go for Michelin Lithion 3 in red:

Another question is what inner tubes to get, any recommendations ?
