1)Anyone have any experience with these new tires from Conti?
2)Does it make sense to use a smaller tire in front?
I am currently riding Specialized Armadillo in 700x23 and I love the flat resistance but these
tires are heavy(380g maybe more). My group training rides always turn out to be a race, which I
don't mind cause it gets me in shape, even though I sometimes get dropped(especially on the hills).
So I'm always thinking that I should lighten up on the tires a bit (as it is rotational weight and
all that). I usually wear out the rear tire faster, so I end up rotating with the front. These new
tires from Conti sound interesting except for the $$$. But I could just buy two different sizes of
another tire for less. Will 100+g per tire make a difference to a club rider or should I just shut
up and ride?
