Shimano's used to be that price, this year the cost has nearly doubled. GG. Oh yeah, the veloflex pave's - don't get them unless you're racing or doing really fast rides. They ride like tubulars, ultrafast but at the expense of all round durability. You don't get the high tpi/speed for nothing. They are one of the flimsiest tyres on the face of the planet.

Really *really* fast though.
