me thinks the extra 400g could be lost elsewhere if you know what I mean. Lets face it unless you are a weight weenie and weigh about 8 stone then the extra 400g is going to make cock all difference!

 

[Cyclist33]

If you say so.

Why? The Durano S is less durable than the standard Durano (according to Schwalbe), and doesn't have the SmartGuard protective layer in it... I think I can live with the extra 100g or so extra weight per tyre over the standard folding Durano Plus, and I do like the reflective 'London' print on the sidewalls too

Each to their own of course! I like the weight saving it does make a difference uphill, the rubber is nice and lithe and the tyre does have Raceguard protection. As I said, I've taken them on far worse surface than road and no issues yet.

I like how they look, most of all.

I quite like the look of my Michelin Pro3's as well but they don't last that long on a commuter, well certainly not mine, in fact the pro2's were best. For winter you really need something bomb proof, hope the Durano Plus live up to that?

 

[Cyclist33]

Yeah I'll be putting my city contacts back on the end of this month. Twice the weight, more than, but tough as old boots!

225 gram is racing fare.

Change every 500 or so miles.

 

[PpPete]

The Michelin Pro 4 Endurance 700x23 is only 225 grams and if the predecessor Krylion is anything to go by it's going to last nearer 3000 miles

That's not going to happen!

I like my Bontrager Race Lite Hardcases, I've been using them for a few years now and they've served me well.

Pro 3's on one set of wheels, since Feb, around 3500 miles zero punctures, Pro 4's on another, 2000 miles ish, zero punctures, mostly training and club rides, but there is some commuting in there as well,
Have some new free Lithion 2's lined up for winter, then will be pro 4's again for next year.

So far, only done about 250.

ok just wondered if they were a lot more durable than the ultremos.
