Got my Fizik R3's size 48 today, ordered Tuesday night just tried them on and they feel very comfy. The instep is high but not uncomfy.
Even the wife likes them :eek:

Excellent deal on Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp tyres from Merlin.

Only £2.53 less than Ribble, and you can buy them individually on Ribble. I can't see the 25mm ones on Merlin either.

Fair play.

Does anyone know why manufacturers don't make 25mm versions of coloured tyres?

I will move to 25s next, but the Tricomp (which I use at the moment) aren't available in 25mm red. The continental GP 4000s, which are supposed to be awesome, are the same. As are the michelin Pro4 service course. :sad:

I can't really give a great review when it comes to how fast they roll, because I changed my wheels at the same time, but I find them nice and grippy through corners.

My mum is on her 3rd/4th pair and really rates them highly. They last pretty well, do well in the wet, and don't attract the p****** fairy until they're pretty worn (and she rides with the ctc, so often up down rubbish lanes covered in grit and stuff).

I want some 25s next because I find that these in 23mm @130psi is a fair bit less comfortable than the 25mm conti gatorskins @110psi that I used to have. I definitely feel the buzz from less than perfect road surfaces more than I used to, and I doubt that this is entirely down to the wheels.

Thanks, that's good to know. I am currently on Durano Plus so well used to a harsh ride so these may well feel better to me :smile:
