Roubaix Tires.

PERRY ROUBAIX, a week from Paris Roubaix, start the countdown!

OK, so if you don't want to pay me $200 for a pair of 700x27 or 700x25 FMB SKY Tubulars, here are some options.

All these tires listed make great training tires, dirt road tires, and have long term durability for years so don't think that your spending 80 bucks on some tires you'll never use again.


MY first choice,

Continental 700x25 Duraskin Folding Gatorskin. $38 each. Light at around 250
grams, these suckers will not tear or rip, I will be using them.


2nd Choice.

Panaracer Pasela Tour Guard Folding. $30 each. 260 grams. The 700x28mm measures 25 and the 700x32 measures 28mm. Maybe other stores do it differently but thats how they are here at volker. These are super strong tires, light, and have good traction if you want traction.




Hutchinson Intensive Tubeless. 700x25. I know a few guys riding these around tubeless, they rave all the time. Not super light, around 320 grams, but most of that weight is so they don't break and you can run tubeless, which will save you 70-110 grams right there. I wouldn't ride these higher than 100psi if you do run tubeless. Tubeless Version costs $50 each. Non tubeless version weighs around 265 and costs $40 each.



Panaracer tires are in stock, contis will be here wednesday. If you'd like to buy the intensives from me, email me before 1pm on monday and I will have them in your hands Wednesday afternoon. volkerbicycles at gmail.com
