I just posted a PSA in classifieds about cheap Veloflex Corsas at Western Bikeworks.
They also are offering two Challenge tire models that I've never seen: Strada 25 and Triathlon.
I've ridden Challenge Paris-Roubaix, and there've been plenty of comments about them here on the forum, so no need to go into that, but anyone have any experience with these skinnier models?

Used the Stradas once. Avoid them like the plague. Maybe the worst tire I've ever ridden.

Not a fan of Challenge tires. They are hard to mount and hard to keep from getting flats.
There are too many other nicer tires to settle for those.

I know both the good and bad about Challenge (although I've not had the flats many others complain about.)
Decided to stock up on the Veloflex (and some latex tubes while I'm at it).
Now I just need the ice cap to recede and I'll be good to go.

Not a big fan.
