  1. nasty blowout this morning - took a nail at speed and was quite lucky to keep it upright - instant deflation and nasty hook tear in the casing. I wonder if the "vectran belt" is guaranteed against rusty bent nails??

    Damn shame as it had almost 4,500km on it, and still had plenty of life left in it according to the tread wear indicators. Time to make a PBK order. I run the silver ones. Might buy a gold and run a mis-matched pair. could call that one a "quinella" or "one/two".

    Still love these tyres though. I've got one to throw on the wind trainer rear wheel now.

    I was just fixing tires.

    I didn't do BR this morning partly because I am tired, but mostly
    because late lastnight, half an hour after pumping the tires up to
    135PSI, I heard an psssssssssshhhhht. A cut about 8mm wide was
    bulging a little, and had obviously worn the tube. These tires have
    ~3000km on them, and the rear one is starting to look a little square
    -- rubino pro folding tires from pbk. Won't be replacing with them
    again.

    You in Melbourne? I just put an email alert to see when the black
    23mm ones are going to be in stock, although there is one tanned skin
    one left. Dunno whether that will look too mismatched 🙂

    When you click on the gp4000 page(s), they come up for around $40 each, depending how many you buy.
