HI

Sorry for critics but a black stem would be nicer and the rims and tires look like they are bomb proofed. all in all a nice biuld except for the Wheelstet and Stem.

I had them about a year ago (don't know if they changed them in the meantime, but they still look the same). I thought it was a fast tire, not particularly light, but runs smooth. It's a typical dry-weather tire, when moist, your grip is gone, but if the terrain is dry it gives good grip. The reason I haven't got them anymore is that they wear-out fast if you run them on low pressure (which is suppost to be one of the advantages). I ran them on 2 bar and I weigh 70 kg, the rear-tire cracked on the sides in three months.

And they're a pain to get them on your rims :( .
