The Line Between Tubulars and Clinchers Just Became Blurrier

The Grand Bois Hetre is my favorite tire. Crazy good stuff.

Now, for $88/each, I can buy that same tire made with the Panaracer's top of the line tubular casing...What?!

Admittedly $88/tire is way expensivefor me and I have miles to go before I'm ready to buy a tire, I think I'm going to start saving for them.

Just wanted to spread the word.

I have handled these, at the Philly Expo, and they are very nice. Significantly thinner/suppler casing, without appearing fragile.

Did not know that they were also being made in 700 x 23c and 32c. The latter should be a very nice tire for the right bike.

Interesting they say to run more pressure because of the extra suppleness.
