But agree, I've had no problems with flats on these. I only recall one flat and that was because I was riding through the winter with them..  |

Their tires stretch out pretty quickly. Second or third installation is usually a dawdle.
I will note that I have always had terrible luck with punctures on veloflex tires - but only in the rain. Brilliant ride quality and surprisingly long-lasting.

my pal had his rear 700x25 veloflex with about 200 miles explode off his Bora Ones after suffering up a 45 minute climb...they were not hot nor was the pavement...the tire basically delaminated along the sidewall. Evidently his experience has precedent...
