I'm using 700x28 TG Paselas and have no complaints. Why the preference for wire bead though? According to the Panaracer site the folding kevlar Paselas (280g )weigh less than the wire bead non-TG versions (320g for 28mm sizes). The non-folding TG is listed as 340g.
If its not for weight then is the issue suppleness? Does the TG interfere with suppleness? I thought the suppleness of the sidewall was what really led to a great feeling tire. -Aaron Young Rochester, NY On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 11:14 AM, Rene Sterental <orthie...@gmail.com>wrote: > You're running the Big Apples with too much air pressure.
