Panaracer is another site that could offer a little more info. I'll have to check out the GP 4000 Reflex.<br /><br />Andrew, good to know about the QBP catalog.<br /><br />Hank, exactly.<br /><br />Anon, um, yeah. [blush]<br /><br />Shed Master, I built a rad shed this summer and until just now, I thought I was you. Bubble popped, oh well. You've stoked my optimism on the racer's though.Pat Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348722701872187949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1094176709529713758.post-65340646234238978092010-11-15T10:43:26.910-08:002010-11-15T10:43:26.910-08:00I've been on a pair of the Marathon Racers (70...I've been on a pair of the Marathon Racers (700x38c)for the past 2 years - no flats, great ride quality and still in great shape.

I've used the T-Serv and it's not especially puncture-resistant, tends to pick up bits of broken glass and retain them... no data available regarding thumbtacks, however ;). But for the record, such an animal does exist. 700 x 28s weigh 370 grams. Thread count is lower than a Pasela.<br /><br /><br />Bigger picture: if you want a fast tire with a reflective sidewall, the Continental Grand Prix 4000 Reflex is the best there is. 700 x 25 is 240 grams, inflates out to a real-world width of 27mm, and you can run the lightweight 70-gram road tubes in them. They're available from BikeTiresDirect over in Oregon. Based on my use, they seemed about on par with the T-Serv for puncture resistance, just not as high-mileage since there's less tread depth.mechBgonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196429495058051948noreply@blogger.com
